I have a B.A. in Studio Art from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. After graduation, I moved to New York and worked as a pastry chef. Eventually, I decided to become a librarian and completed my M.L.S. at the State University of New York at Albany.
I am an active member of the Arts Library Society of North America (ArLiS/NA) and am the Web Site Editor for the Society. I have also given two workshops and been part of a panel discussion at ArLiS/NA national conferences:
