Born in Minnesota, raised in California, and now based in New York (on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Lenape people). I am a High School Librarian at the Dalton School, where I teach research, advise the LGBTQIAA+ student affinity group, and care for the library gecko.


In the past, I was a librarian at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, where I taught a yearlong 7th grade information skills course and developed library instruction sessions for various core subjects and electives.


I’ve worked in schools and universities doing a little bit of everything: library reference services, bibliographic management, assisting a Sloan-funded data science research team, working with special collections, and cataloging.


Outside of work, I am studying to be a birth and postpartum doula. I’m also a writer, and have an occasional, unspammy poetry prompt newsletter called

I earned a MLIS from UCLA in 2014, and
a degree in Feminist Studies from UCSC in 2010.

I have extensive experience with synchronous classroom teaching, both in-person and online. I’m committed to confronting and rectifying privilege in service of co-creating an equitable classroom.
