Medical Sciences Library - Staff Profiles

Howdy! I am the Research & Education Librarian at the Medical Sciences Library Dallas Campus. I joined in August 2025, but the Aggie community is not new to me, as I am a proud member of the Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2018 (whoop!!)! Prior to this role, I worked as a Research & Education Librarian at UNT Health Fort Worth and as a Reference Librarian at the Collin College Frisco Campus. 

Though I'm physically in Dallas, I work remotely with the Medical Sciences Library team in College Station and our other regional campuses to enhance access to resources for the teaching, learning, and research activities of the Dentistry program. As a Dallas native, I'm so excited to be apart of this community!

I can help you with a variety of things! Reach out to me for more information about: 

• Workshops (citation management systems, database searching, etc)
• Instructional library classes 
• Database searching
• General research assistance
• Citation assistance
