About me

I have a Bachelor of Music degree from JMU and studied Bassoon Performance and Music Industry.  In the Music Library I train and supervise the student assistants, develop training for staff, manage circulation, provide library instruction and assist with music searching and research, and connect with patrons.  I also manage “The little Gallery Underground” as well as other special events.
