I joined the University of Nebraska Press in Lincoln as the director in 2021, hailing from Detroit, Michigan. I was fortunate to lead the press at Wayne State University for fifteen years, which prepared me for my role with UNP. I received my BA from Indiana University-Bloomington and my MA from Wayne State, where my academic work focused on visual culture. I am captivated by books and the people and processes behind them and it’s a joy to work in the world of academic publishing. Outside of the office I read primarily nonfiction in pretty much any subject area. My husband and I enjoy traveling, crossword and jigsaw puzzling, and our dog, Shep.

I earned an MA in social sciences from the University of Chicago. I began my publishing career in 1997 in UNP’s marketing department. In 2005 I moved into grants and development. I am grateful that my job connects me with books, ideas, and bright, interesting people.
