Medical Sciences Library - Staff Profiles

Howdy! I'm the Curriculum and Instruction Librarian for the Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Division within the University Libraries. With my Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from TAMU and my Master of Library Science, I've had the privilege of serving as a librarian in K-12 public schools and later as a curriculum and digital resources coordinator at the district level. My unique perspective allows me to understand our TAMU students' journeys from their former educational experiences to their aspiration in the field of medical science.

As the Curriculum and Instruction Librarian, I support the educational and research needs of the students, faculty, and staff. In this role, I am happy to perform the following services:

• Collaborate with faculty to integrate information literacy and evidence-based practice into medical curriculum.
• Develop guides and tutorials to support the learning objectives in medical courses.
• Participate in curriculum committees to contribute to the design and development of courses.
• Instruct students and faculty on the effective use of medical literature and databases.
• Provide guidance on the use of data visualization.
