Greetings.  I work as a reference librarian at UTD's main library.  My primary duties include providing reference services to students, faculty, and staff; delivering library instruction; maintaining electronic resources for the library; and maintaining a lease collection of popular reading materials. I also serve as the subject liaison for electrical engineering along with my colleague Carol Oshel, who serves the computer science department.

I am a native of the Dallas area (here 20 years), with the rest of my time having been spent at various schools along the I-35 corridor (San Antonio and Austin).  On the rare occasion that I get to travel, I love to liberate my inner self amongst the awe-inspiring natural features of this country's many breathtaking national parks.  As one would expect, I am an avid reader, 'Net surfer, journal writer, amateur philosopher, professional generalist, and, in summary, jack of all trades.
