BIO
I am an actress, singer, voice over artist, director and producer with a BFA in performance from
Salem State University in Salem, MA. In May 2020, I received my Master's degree in Library and Information Science from Simmons
University in Boston, MA. Prior to enrolling at Simmons, I worked as a higher education administrator for over 15 years- at New England
Conservatory in Boston, Tisch School of the Arts (NYU) in New York City and most recently at Bennington College in Vermont.
In August 2017, I relocated from Bennington, VT to Brandon, Manitoba, Canada with my husband, Matthew, and our son, Elliott, who is now 9 years old. In July of 2020,
we moved back to our hometown of Schenectady, NY to be closer to family. After both getting jobs in Vermont, we moved back to the Green Mountain State.
I am extremely interested in exploring the intersection of LIS and the performing arts, including storytelling, oral history and other original
performances using library and archival material as both source and inspiration. I hope to gain hands on experience with bookmaking and repair
as well as rare books and special collections. I'm also quite keen on being a librarian and look forward to what is yet to come.
I'm not much of a visual artist, but I do love to bake, especially pies. My son is my primary baking inspiration, but I love to share with everyone!
