I completed my master's degree in Information and Library Science at University at Buffalo and began working part time at Berntsen Library in 2022. As the library web coordinator, I manage the library's website and user experience as well as provide research assistance. In addition to library services, my areas of expertise include historical and theological studies, particularly History of Christianity. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband and children, crocheting, and reading through the growing stack of books on my end table.
