I'm a newly minted librarian, currently working as the Systems/Metadata Librarian at Whitman College, a small liberal arts college in Walla Walla, WA. I received my MSLIS from Simmons College in Boston, MA, in 2009, and my BA from UC Santa Cruz, in 2001.
As a librarian, I primarily focus on library technologies and innovations in systems management, web development and usability, educational technology, and digital scholarship and scholarly publishing. I write about library issues at Words for Nerds
In my non-librarian life, I write about feminism, gender, and pop culture at Smarmy Alligator, and about food and cooking at The Kitchen Illiterate. I'm also a freelance copyeditor and proofreader.
