As the OSU Libraries' Senior Communications Specialist, I can provide more information on Library events, publications, or press releases. If you have questions about publication reprints, an upcoming event or how to schedule your own event, I can help. If you are a reporter and have follow up questions concerning a press release or new issue or if you would like to interview or photograph in the Library, please contact me directly. I can quickly put you in contact with the most appropriate source.

You Never Would Have Guessed

I have taught archery & rock climbing and I'm certified as a ropes course instructor.

I was the subject of an urban legend: at my elementary school, I was the kid everyone thought had gone over the bar on the swing set.

I cheat at board games, but it's only board games. I swear!

I have trouble telling my left from my right, must be my creative spirit.

My number one regret is not throwing my bra at Bob Dylan when I had the chance.
