The library is integral to both teaching, research, and community outreach missions of the university with a broad range of services and collections. At the same time, it is also a gathering and learning space for the university, particularly students —and we welcome the community.
To be successful on so many fronts requires a team of talented and dedicated people – it is my job to support our team so that they can provide excellent service to our students and faculty. A rewarding aspect of my role is that I frequently receive messages about our exceptional team and the outstanding support they have provided.

My very first paying position was working in a public library when I was 14 years old. Although I had other jobs over time, I loved the environment, particularly the people who both work at and use libraries, and when it was time to choose a career there was no question that I would become a librarian. Academic librarianship is something I became interested in during my time in university while working as a student employee at Dalhousie’s Killam Library. it was clear to me that being a librarian was the best work on campus.. My library career has taken me from Dalhousie to the University of British Columbia, McGill and now Carleton -some of the best and most beautiful universities and campuses in Canada.
