I have fulfilled a wide variety of instruction, outreach, and library-related activities at Santa Rosa Junior College, College of Marin, and Sonoma State University. Through professional work and community service, I have interacted with different groups of people. I enjoy building relationships and partnerships, and collaborating with colleagues. I am experienced with instruction and reference services for the diverse population at community colleges, and I have worked extensively with first-year students and programs. I focus on active learning, and build upon students' prior experiences and knowledge. I am passionate about integrating the arts and primary sources into the curriculum in face-to-face and digital scenarios. I've always been an active person, and especially enjoy swimming, practicing yoga, and cycling.
