BIOGRAPHY: My professional work began not with librarianship but with sociology, working as a Professional Research Associate directly within the Sociology Department at the University of Saskatchewan. In this role I engaged in a wide range of research projects, including Youth Gambling, Knowledge Transfer, Physician Mentorship, and other health-based research projects.

For Yorkville University, I work as their University Librarian managing a small staff and developing various online support strategies for helping students with research questions and assignments in an asynchronous learning environment. For the future I’m interested in how the Community of Inquiry framework can illuminate the critical role of librarian-Instructor collaboration for course development and implementation.

Research Projects

My most recent publication is a 2018 co-authored work titled Food Safety in China: The Structure and Substantive Foci of an Emerging Field of Social Science Research which assesses the degree to which social science papers have addressed Food Safety issues in China.
