As Department Head of Access Services at the Leddy Library I oversee the library's front line staff, services, spaces, our course resource & reserve service, and copyright. I'm also the liaison librarian for Philosophy.
As a graduate student I studied philosophy at the University of Western Ontario with a focus on logic, philosophy of mathematics, and the philosophy of science. I also completed my MLIS at the University of Western Ontario.
