I have been a member of the Seton Hall library faculty since 1992. My main interest is in information literacy, the research process, and the ways in which students learn how to learn. I have served as coordinator of information literacy, reference librarian, faculty senator, and member of the committee to develop a new core curriculum for the university. I have had the benefit to share in this endeavor by teaching the introductory, Journey of Transformation course. I also serve as library liaison for nursing and allied health, art, music, museum studies, and women' studies. Outside the library, my interests focus on music, dance, and theatrical performance.
