Bio
I have worked at university libraries for over 40 years. I started as a Federal Work-Study student in 1983 at CWRU in Cleveland, OH. I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at Kent State University Libraries in 1993.
I have been at North Carolina A&T State University for over 30 years. Hired in 1994, my first position was Evening Librarian. I was tenured in 2004, promoted to Head of Reference and Instruction in 2009, and promoted to Associate Professor in 2016.
