I am a freelance indexer and editor specializing in academic works of all kinds, though works in STEM and social sciences are some of my specialties. I also consult in research data management for higher education and nonprofit organizations, do some book design for ePubs and for print layout, and sometimes do author coaching. Before striking out on my own, I worked in research data librarianship, STEM librarianship, and educational technology for over twenty years. My past work focused on small liberal arts colleges, both coeducational and historic women’s colleges. I’ve worked with researchers from a wide variety of STEM fields, as well as across other disciplines. I am experienced in teaching library research, technologies for teaching and learning, and research computing.
My degrees are Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry from Yale College (BA), and Library and Information Science from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (MLIS). I am a certified instructor in The Carpentries organization for furthering the computing skills of researchers, and I am a founding member and former executive board member of the New England Software Carpentry Library Consortium (NESCLiC). I am published in JeSLIB, eLife, and College & Research Libraries News; see my ORCID page for the full publication list. I am trained in ethnographic techniques for library program assessment, needs assessment for researchers and institutions, and user experience research.
