The NYU Health Sciences Library supports the curriculum and education-related needs of NYU Langone Health, the NYU College of Dentistry, and both Undergraduate and Graduate Medical Education within the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. As Head of Education and Clinical Support, my goal is to support successful learning through library orientations, instruction in locating evidence-based medicine resources, database searching, citation management, data and knowledge management, and specialized research instruction. Our team also supports the clinical community with the goal of improving and promoting the use of biomedical and health information in clinical contexts throughout the NYU Langone health care system.

In my additional role as Adjunct Assistant Professor and Research Librarian in the NYU Dentistry Department of Epidemiology and Health Promotion I support students, faculty and researchers engaged in solving the biggest oral public health problems, using the tools of epidemiology, statistics, dissemination and implementation, economics, system improvement, and ethics. My research is focused on systematic searching of the biomedical literature, primarily as it relates to dental education and dental research topics.
