About me

I am a 3rd year, part-time PhD student in the UArizona School of Information, with an interdisciplinary minor in Social, Cultural, & Critical Theory (SCCT). Expected graduation date: Spring 2026.

Research interests

Being an academic librarian for over 10 years, I am interested in studying perceptions, impact, and valuation of academic library labor through various critical and interdisciplinary lenses. From my specialization as a library educator, I intend to focus on the doubly feminized and devalued labor of library instruction.

Current projects

Selected as a recipient of the annual SCCT Research Award, I presented my current work at the Graduate College’s Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDP) Research Showcase in December 2022 with a poster (“Problematizing the valuation of academic librarianship through the lens of the one-shot instruction model”) stemming from my work with the College & Research Libraries special issue on one-shots.
