I earned my B.S. in Chemistry with a Minor in Mathematics (2001) from the University at Buffalo--SUNY, my M.S. in Information with a specialization in Library and Information Services (2003) from the University of Michigan, and I was a Ph.D. candidate [A.B.D.] in Information Science at the University of Washington from 2003-2010. I was on the faculty at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2008-2011, and I joined the Center for Teaching Excellence at Virginia Commonwealth University in July 2011. My professional life currently involves working with individual faculty members, graduate students, and departments as they think about their teaching, courses, curricula, and student learning.
