About meI am an academic librarian at the University of Toronto. Broadly, I’m interested in English literature (especially Canadian), history, women and gender studies, and urban studies.

I recently completed a Master of Information degree from the Faculty of Information in Library and Information Science in the Book History and Print Culture Collaborative Program from Massey College.

I also hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature at the University of Toronto, St. George Campus.
