Communications & Learning Associate at Meyer Memorial Trust.

I have a Masters of Library & Information Science, and my focus area is on special library and technology settings. I also did a significant amount of research and work related to arts education and artist's information behavior. I have a past as a professional filmmaker, and I still love to shoot film on a small scale. I have a deep love of sharing information and connecting resources. I enjoy reference work, new technologies, HCI theory and user-centered design. I also screenprint and am generally crafty.
