Assistant Professor
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My general research interests include cyberbullying, youth, social media, empathy, librarianship, libraries, making, critical librarianship, neurodiversity, and mental health advocacy. I recently completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Utah State University in the Department of Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences.
I received my PhD in Information Science from the School of Information at Florida State University in the Spring of 2016. Before I began the PhD program, I worked as public librarian at a small, rural library system in Southwest Georgia. My work with young adults as a librarian is the root of my research interest in this population. I continue to be a strong advocate for school and public libraries in our communities. But it’s not hard to advocate for libraries who serve as important and accessible public spaces within our communities.
