Job title: Library Assistant-Curriculum
Job location: Fleming Library
What attracted you to GCU? The library is small enough to be able to have an essential role, but big enough to impact lots of students and faculty.
What do you do for fun and where do you find that outlet? It may sound cliché for a librarian … but I love reading. I choke a little when I look at my bill from Amazon each month.
What are you passionate about? Information literacy. I really want to show people how to find and use information. There is so much info out there, in so many formats, it can be very overwhelming.
What are your favorite places or events in the Valley that you like to visit? My husband and I love to take the kids “hiking” around Papago Park. They think they are mountain climbing! My husband’s family are all pilots, so you can also find us at most air shows.
Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know: In college, I broke both of my arms at the same time during the intermural championship game of broomball.… We won.
What are you most proud of? My kids. My husband and I high-five on their birthdays each year about the fact that we managed to keep them alive and growing for one more year!
