Bio

As the Scholarly Communication Librarian at CSUSB I provide leadership, outreach, and education on the scholarly communication ecosystem, including open access advocacy, open science practices, open educational resources, copyright and fair use, and research impact, and run the institutional repository. I was awarded a Fulbright Research award in Japan for 2023 – 2024 to examine open-access infrastructure at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo, Japan. I am passionate about research and support around open-access advocacy and open infrastructure, having completed my doctoral work on how organizations like SPARC NA support open-access social and technical infrastructure.
