About me

As part of the Communications & Outreach department, I partner with Libraries Administration on philanthropic activities for JMU Libraries and work to help tell the story of the Libraries. I work with JMU Alumni Relations, Events, Advancement, and the JMU Foundation to identify opportunities for collaboration.

I have a B.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University in Art History and an M.L.I.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

I have been a librarian at JMU since 2001. I have also worked as a law librarian and in a public library system.

About Communications & Outreach

We lead communications, marketing, and outreach on behalf of JMU Libraries. Our communications reach a variety of audiences, including current and prospective students, faculty, staff, donors, alumni, JMU parents and families, and the local community.

The Communications & Outreach team manages promotion, media relations, messaging, and branding for the Libraries. We collaborate with University Communications, University Marketing & Branding, the Division of Student Affairs, and the Office of Admissions. We also partner with various units within University Advancement to coordinate the Libraries’ participation in fundraising.

Libraries’ Administration includes Communications and Outreach, Data Analytics, Facilities Operations, Finance and Human Resources, and the office of the Dean.
