About Me...

I am an aging cat-lady lesbrarian writing about Tattoos as Personal Archives with my dear mentor, Terry Baxter. I was trained as an archivist and librarian at the University of British Columbia, and have spent more than a decade doing history and memory work in government archives, academic libraries, and museums. I live with my partner Shepherd Tsosie in central North Carolina with our 5-7 cats (sliding scale). I am a cancer survivor and live with a permanent ostomy now, and find home among queer crip visionaries and writers. I dream of archives and libraries of the future as liberatory spaces, and am always excited to work in community with folks with the same vision.
