About

As the Outreach and Interdisciplinary Program Specialist for the Libraries makerspaces, including the Toaster, the HSL Makerspace, and the VR Studio, I focus on providing diverse programming to engage groups traditionally underrepresented in making, and to connect students across colleges and to the greater Twin Cities community. Before coming to the University of Minnesota, I worked primarily in public libraries, most recently as a children's librarian in Queens, New York.

At home, I enjoy playing video games and tabletop roleplaying games, reading, and hanging out with my partner and our cats.

Interested in hosting a workshop or event in conjunction with our Makerspaces? Send me an email or swing by my office at Walter 235!
