My Story

My career has evolved at the intersection of people, systems, and information. Rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and information science, I studied how knowledge is created, organized, and shared. My early work as a stage manager and assistant to a theater professor taught me coordination, timing, and communication. Those skills later carried into managing presentation, sound, and light systems at churches and theaters, where I learned how technical systems can strengthen human connection and community.

​

From there, my path led into libraries, where I advanced from cataloging to information systems to large-scale acquisitions. At American University, I managed projects that required both technical precision and cross-department collaboration. At Yale, I oversaw acquisitions and receiving workflows that balanced budgets, metadata, and relationships with vendors and campus partners. Along the way, I taught graduate courses and led national workshops, deepening my commitment to mentorship and shared learning.

​

Beyond my professional roles, I have remained deeply engaged in my communities. I have supported churches through technology and organization, and I served for several years as a Precinct Captain for the DC Board of Elections. In every setting, I focus on connecting people and systems to make information more accessible, technology more human, and communities more cohesive.
