Author Biography
Greetings! I'm the Director of University Libraries and Associate Professor at Northwestern State University! I'm a recent doctoral graduate from the Higher Education Administration program at Ole Miss. My research interests range from emotional intelligence to workplace issues in libraries. As a former instructional librarian, I am still very interested in information (and digital) literacy. Because of my experiences in higher education and the impact of my doctoral student experience, I've grown more aware of the chronic issues plaguing higher education and want to help identify solutions. I am deeply involved with AOER; I have been a part of the OA movement for a decade, founded and edit a peer-reviewed OA journal, have facilitated faculty learning communities and courses on AOER, and did my dissertation on faculty perceptions of AOER. On a more personal level, I'm happily married to my college sweetheart, with whom I enjoy having adventures! {{she/her/hers}}
