As a trained neuroscientist, I bring research expertise to my role as library liaison to Biological Sciences. I spent 10+ years studying plasticity of neural circuits in sensory cortex while receiving my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Brandeis University and my postdoctoral training at U.C. Berkeley.  As liaison to Biological Sciences, I’m passionate about teaching information literacy, helping researchers navigate resources and software, and advocating for open access initiatives.
