Hello Fall 2024 Students!

Profile

Admittedly, college was my jam. I kept going and going, eventually becoming an academic librarian so I'd never have to leave! Call me a smart weirdo, but I love research -- from translating a topic into an interesting and arguable thesis statement to hunting down the right scholarly sources. I'll even assist you in crafting an MLA citation (or APA, etc.)!
