Professional Bio

I’m the inaugural Director of Library at the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, set to open in Exposition Blvd Park, LA , in 2025. I received my Library Science and Archival Masters degrees from Pratt Institute and a Masters in Anthropology from Hunter College.

Previously, I worked at California Institute of the Arts, CUNY’s Leonard Lief Library at Lehman College, Butler Library at Columbia University and the Thomas J. Watson/Nolen Libraries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My current research interests include Gender, Women Studies, Ethical Non-Monogamous Relationships, and Ethnomusicology – specifically women’s participation in Heavy Metal and Extreme Metal Music sub-cultures. My all-time favorite books are the illustrated kind, graphic novels and comics! To be specific, I love almost everything published under the Vertigo & Image labels and I have a sentimental affinity to Preacher by Garth Ennis. And of course, I’m a big fan of all things Star Wars & Indiana Jones.
