Welcome to my online résumé!
I'm currently working on my MLS and MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Indiana University. My work with CLACS has revolved around contemporary Brazil, as my background in Spanish left a gap in my knowledge of such an important country.
At the same time, I've been honing my skills in Library Science as a future information professional. This has led me to focus on web design and development, as the Internet will only continue to transform the way we meet our information needs.
Simply scroll down to find out more about me, or skip to any section you'd like using the links to the left. I'd love to have the chance to talk to you more about my background and skills, so please don't hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you!
