About Me edit

I have been the Digital Initiatives Librarian with the University of Toronto Libraries since 2013. My current research focus is exploring technology that can efficiently enable access to digital special collections. I have a Master of Library and Information Studies from McGill University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD. Prior to joining the University of Toronto Libraries, I worked on various archives projects with the Cabbagetown Regent Park Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, and the McGill University Archives. I am a Past-President of the Archives Association of Ontario.
