I manage all aspects of electronic resources for Cowles Library, including databases, journals, eBooks, streaming video, and more. I am also in charge of interlibrary loan borrowing. My job is to make sure that faculty, staff, and students have the resources they need and that everything is working correctly. I am the liaison to the music department. I help manage the student workers, order leisure collection books, and create book displays.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Music (BA) from Drake University (AS ’10) and went on to complete my Master of Library Science at Indiana University Bloomington (2012). I later received my Master of Arts in Communication (GR ’20). Having fallen in love with Drake during my time as a student, I’m thrilled to now be able to serve its community professionally.

My interests outside of work include horror movies, hanging out with my dog (and anyone else’s dogs), and drinking too much coffee.
