I earned an BA in English (2009), an MLIS (2014), and completed my MBA (2020) at the University of South Florida. I have also completed a certificate in reading instruction through the extension office at the University of California, San Diego and earned an Advanced Technical Certificate in paralegal studies from Hillsborough (FL) Community College. I am currently working on an EdD at Florida State University. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy assisting with volunteer projects within my community as well as various committees through ALA.
