About Me
Pronouns:
She/Her

I grew up in South East Michigan, I lived in the UK where I did my masters in English, and I moved to Philadelphia in 2013 when I joined Villanova's Falvey Library.

I'm a pop culture junkie and enjoy talking about film and television just as much as I enjoy conversations about books. 

In keeping with the librarian stereotype my partner and I have 4 cats, but fear not, having been raised with dogs I'm an equal opportunity animal lover.
