Conference on Academic Library Management 2026

I am an Associate Librarian and Director of CATalyst Studios, an interdisciplinary makerspace and digital learning space at the University of Arizona Libraries. My work is centered on developing equitable practices within technology-rich spaces and fostering dynamic centers for interdisciplinary learning communities. I work with students, faculty and partners throughout the campus and greater community to support critical making, both formally and informally. With my pal Maggie Melo at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, I co-edited Remaking the Library Makerspace: Critical Theories, Reflections, and Practices, published by Library Juice Press in 2020. I'm currently enjoying cooking all kinds of delicious food, trying to grow more of it, and usually dreaming and wishing I was writing.
