Overview

  • I joined the University of New Hampshire as Associate Dean in August, 2016. As a member of the Library leadership team, I coordinate library services, collections, and technology initiatives and translate library vision and goals into daily processes and operations. My research interests focus on developing library managers to improve their effectiveness, a passion that led me to become credentialed as an executive coach.
