Background and areas of expertise :

I majored in History and earned secondary teaching certification in Pennsylvania. My master's research concerned providing effective library service to patrons whose first language is not English.

I can be of particular help with:

  • Historical research
  • Literary criticism and theory
  • Biographical searches
  • Primary sources - how to find them and how to use them
  • Best teaching and learning practices
  • Building bibliographies and citing properly
  • ...and much more.
