I grew up in Central Iowa and attended Culver-Stockton College for my undergraduate. After graduating with a religion/philosophy degree, I preached, substitute taught, and worked part-time at the college. I was hired as an acquisitions clerk at the C-SC library full-time in 2003 working up to Associate Librarian until 2016. I obtained my MLIS from Drexel University and later my MIDT from Western Illinois University. I currently work as the Director of Instructional Technology and IT Operations. I also lecture in Educational Technology and Composition II.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my husband and six kids in the garden and baking. In my spare time I enjoy running and weight training.
