I'm a metadata librarian and business/systems analyst with over 10 years of experience in libraries. I am energized by the opportunity to solve complex problems with ambiguous outcomes that require research, collaboration, and tenacity to build solutions. My specialities include implementation and maintenance of metadata ETL processes and data pipelines, management of electronic resources in a consortial environment, and library automation.
