Professional: My job as Collection & Resource Development librarian is to maintain and grow the Library’s collections in response to what is taught at our university. In order to do this, I work closely with campus faculty, assess user needs, create collection policies, define funding requirements, supervise expenditures, select resources, periodically evaluate the collections, transfer materials, de-select materials, analyze resource sharing trends, and preserve materials for the long run.

Personal: When not working in the library you can find me: doing research, biking in the Swiss Alps, at the hockey rink, learning about wine, or reading a darn good mystery.

Other: Played football for Lou Holtz at the University of Minnesota and have good friends in the rock band Collective Soul.  I am also finishing a doctorate in education from the University of Minnesota.
