I love being a librarian. I get paid to be an information detective - that means helping you find answers to your research questions. I particularly like the challenging ones - the ones that require me to dig into those information crevices that only we librarians know. Teaching law students is fun, too. It's neat to see those light bulbs go on. Email me if you ever want to chat about your research.

As the Electronic Services Librarian, I also get to play with a lot of cool techie stuff like designing our Web site, chatting with law students via AskLaw Live (try it - really), and sharing research tips on the Law Library's blog, WisBlawg. Oh, and did I mention that I hold the power over the Law School's LexisNexis and Westlaw passwords?

When I'm not at work, I'm "Mama." My 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter keep me jumping. These are a few of my favorite things. . . Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens -- No, wait, that's Julie Andrews. Mine are:

• Crazy dancing with my kids to the closing credits of Sesame Street - every night
• Chatting with my husband by the campfire with the dog sacked out at our feet
• Stargate: SG-1- my new show since they cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise
• Spiderman movies - if a geek can be a super hero, then I must be Wonder Woman
• Almond Joy ice cream from the Chocolate Shoppe
