Professional: I am the Information Literacy Instruction Librarian. Most of my time is spent speaking to classes about finding information they will need for their assignments and how to use library databases most effectively. I coordinate our library and information literacy instruction program.

Personal: Married.

Hobbies: Reading. My favorite things are issues of the New Yorker, poetry and mystery novels. I try to write when I can find the time.

Other: I am a graduate of the Bread Loaf School of English and also an active member in the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets. I edited the Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar in 1998. I once played poker on a train with the famous wrestler, Haystack Calhoun.
