I am the Assistant Director of Digital Humanities in the College of Arts and Letters at Michigan State University. I have a background in Medieval Studies (MA Fordham) and Libraries (MLIS Rutgers). I teach "Introduction to Digital Humanities" and work to develop new curricula in digital humanities. I provide project management and research support for faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students as they incorporate digital elements into their teaching and research. My own research looks at social media adoption and community building among Medievalist scholars.
