It’s a pleasure to work at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox University as part of the library faculty team. I started as a Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox employee on the Newberg campus in 1995. After leaving the university to complete a graduate degree, I returned to Fox in my current position in 2007; I have worked at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox now for over 25 years!

I thoroughly enjoy working with students and faculty to assist with their research and information needs. Serving on departmental teams with excellent faculty and staff colleagues to best meet the needs of those we serve is an additional bonus.
