Assistant Director for Research & Instructional Design
A Typical Day at the Library
I lead a team that delivers a wide range of services at the library, including research support, peer-to-peer learning, and instructional design. Most of my time is dedicated to overseeing, evaluating, and continually enhancing these services to best meet the needs of the Davidson community and to align with our mission and values. In addition to spending time strategizing on the big picture of library services and initiatives, I also am directly involved with the teaching, programming, and research support that encompass those services. Most days I am interacting with students, faculty, and staff across campus in various settings—be it in class sessions, workshops, research appointments, at the library desk, or elsewhere.
