As an Education Librarian, I teach information competency skills to the students, faculty, and staff of the Feinberg School of Medicine. In my spare time I enjoy playing music, chasing tennis balls, and eating home-cooked meals. Invite me over for dinner sometime.
Feel free to contact me to schedule a training session.
