✨ Curiosity in progress ✨

This site is currently being refreshed, refined, and rethought with purpose. You may spot a few mismatched sections or slightly odd details along the way.

Thanks for wandering through the in-between with me while everything comes together.

I’m a digital librarian, researcher, and information literacy advocate with a deep curiosity about how people find, understand, and use information.

My work spans digital collections, research, public education, and information literacy, but the thread running through all of it is simple: I like making complex information easier to navigate, understand, and use with confidence.

I earned my MLIS from Syracuse University, and I’m especially interested in how organization, context, and good questions can turn information into something people can actually use.

Hi, I’m Kate.

What Drives My Work

I’m endlessly fascinated by how people search for, interpret, trust, and share information.

In a world overflowing with content, I care deeply about helping people slow down, ask better questions, and feel more confident navigating what they encounter online and offline.

I believe libraries are more than buildings or databases. They are tools for empowerment, access, discovery, and connection.
