Background:
I am a health sciences librarian passionate about empowering health consumers, nurses, and librarians to understand and conduct research to improve health and advocate for their health needs and professional interests. I also have experience with professional advocacy and its intersection with marketing and health information education, as well as research methods education. I am also currently Associate Chair of the Gainesville Health Sciences Library.  

As a Liaison Librarian, I can:

• Meet with you in person, by phone or over e-mail to discuss any of your information needs, including copyright, bibliographic citations or bibliographic software (such as EndNote and Mendeley).
• Provide information consultations to assist students, faculty & staff with literature searching and other information gathering.
• Develop and teach library orientations or information-related classes based on your recommendations.
• Present at department meetings or journal clubs.
• Create customized online interactive tutorials for use by on- and off-campus faculty, staff & students.
• Conduct literature searches for HSC faculty & staff.
• Take your recommendations for expanding electronic and print resources for the HSC Libraries' collection.
• Collaborate with you on publications and grants.

Feel free to email me with any information-related questions, or just to see what I can do for you and your research or educational information needs.
