About Me

As your Reference Librarian, my job is to help you make the most of our library resources. From learning to navigate our physical collection, to tracking down elusive digital journal articles for your research project, to simply talking through your research topic and finding a good question to pursue, I'll do my best to help you find the right direction. I was raised right here in Bismarck as the eldest of six, and our mother somehow homeschooled us (even though we were in different grades at different times!). Then I came "up the hill" to get my degree from Mary.

Why I’m At Mary

The Lord works in mysterious ways... I needed a change in my life, and so I asked Him to open/close doors as needed, and here I am!

Expertise

Prior to working at Mary, I worked in a Catholic parish as their youth minister and at the Morton Mandan Public Library as their teen librarian and marketing manager.
