I received my MLIS degree in 2007 from The University of Western Ontario. Currently, I work in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western, where I am the librarian who manages a faculty-supported library. The Graduate Resource Centre supports graduate programs in Health Information Science, Library and Information Science, Journalism, Media Studies, and Popular Music and Culture.
