Medical Sciences Library
Howdy! I am the Evidence Review and Synthesis Librarian for the Texas A&M Medical Sciences Library Review Service. I have a broad background in education, starting as a kindergarten teacher, working my way to Department Head Teacher where I lead a team international teachers in curriculum and project development. After completing my MLS, I made the move to higher education where I have acquired expertise in literature searching, developing and delivering synchronous and asynchronous lessons on conducting systematic literature searches, evidence-based practice, evidence synthesis, and data management best practices.
