I have worked as a Subject Librarian at Binghamton University since 2011, and became coordinator of the Open Repository @Binghamton in 2016. I recently earned my M.A. in Anthropology from Binghamton University and have an M.A. from University of South Florida in Library and Information Science. Most of my research has focused on communities of practice; I have conducted an ethnographic study of a community makerspace in Binghamton and have researched open research culture.
