O HAI

Well hello there, you! I’m the Web Services Librarian and an Associate Professor at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. I received my MLIS from Rutgers University, and I also have an MA in Digital Media Production from Emerson College and an MS in Service-Oriented Computing from Stevens Institute of Technology.

I specialize in web development, social media, technology planning, and innovation in libraries and higher ed, and I occasionally write books and articles about library technology, which you can find on my publications page.

I have a particular interest in the intersection of psychology and tech, especially involving the online proliferation of misinformation and conspiratorial thinking, and am currently studying cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, for funsies. In my spare time I also garden, craft, hang out with my cats, and listen to an absolutely obscene amount of podcasts, possibly because my OCD requires me to shovel a constant stream of information into my brain or it will turn on me. TMI?
