About me

I am an Associate Professor and Open Resources Librarian-STEM Liaison at Lehman College, CUNY. I initiated, developed, and oversee the Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative for the college. My research to date has focused on OER, particularly how librarians develop and support OER initiatives, faculty professional development in OER, and student views on OER.

I'm shorter than I look on Zoom.
