I’ve loved galleries, libraries, archives, and museums since I was a young child. These industries (known collectively as GLAM) continue to places of knowledge and community.

As an academic librarian based in Brisbane, Australia, I am contribute to knowledge sharing in many ways. I have been part of the Queensland University Libraries Office of Cooperation (QULOC) and the New Generation Advisory Committee (NGAC). I have presented papers at conferences, including the IFLA Information Futures Summit and the International Indigenous Librarian’s Forum.

I have also published both scholarly and creative work related to the GLAM profession (selected works below).
