About

I am the librarian for the Masters in Public Health program, Lyman Briggs College, the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the medical residents in the Colleges of Human Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine. Before becoming a librarian, I was an historical archaeologist and studied the sugar plantations on the Island of Hawai’i. I am the winner of the 2020 Ritzenhein Award for Emerging Poets; my first chapbook, “Grammars of Hope,” will be published sometime in the next year.
