I am an experienced historian, researcher, and editor as well as librarian. I began at HSAS in September 2017 with a mission to mobilize library resources to support teaching and student research. I do this by curating the Virtual Library, by leading customized library workshops, and by providing research consultations by appointment. I am on duty at the Lehman College library on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and can make arrangements for other days when necessary. Please contact me for all instructional and research support needs.
