I am a research and <br />education librarian at the Duke University Medical Center Library & Archives. I have taught <br />graduate-level courses in library and information science. I am also an active and passionate <br />library patron. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> was deeply touched by the passing of Dr. Evelyn Daniel. She was a teacher, mentor, and friend <br />of mine. Upon reading her obituary, I noticed she served on the CHPL board and resolved to try <br />to become more involved. As a devoted patron, academic medical librarian, and Carrboro <br />resident, I feel that I can contribute to CHPL. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />I have a strong understanding of health information literacy and resources, familiarity with other <br />library perspectives, and represent a different type of patron (digital, commuter, young <br />professional) than what people typically consider. <br />15
