National Institute 2026

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Creative Writing Concentration as well as a Master of Science in Information Sciences from the University of Tennessee, where I worked as a student library assistant in Special Collections. I was an assistant librarian at Holmes Community College and an instruction librarian at the University of Mississippi before settling into my current role at Western Kentucky University. I'm passionate about event programming, information and news literacy, artificial intelligence in the classroom, instruction, and outreach. I also enjoy reading, writing, and baking. Talk to me about rare books, AI, Taylor Swift, tattoos, embedded librarianship, food, emerging literacies, and more!
