About me

As a liaison librarian, I assist JMU students, faculty, and staff with finding, evaluating, and appropriately citing scientific resources.

Services that I provide are:

• Consulting with students about their research projects
• Providing instruction on using scientific information sources
• Purchasing science and math materials such as books, journals, databases, and other resources to support instruction or research
• Crafting research guides related to Biology and Chemistry & Biochemistry

If you would like to discuss an instruction session or need research assistance, please send me an email or schedule an appointment. I look forward to collaborating with you!
