ENG 152 - Searching with AI

• I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy from Benedictine University, an MLIS from Dominican University, and an MA from University of Nebraska - Kearney.

• I've been a librarian since 2007 and I've been at MCC since 2008.

• My teaching philosophy focuses on active learning and exploring. You are active participants in the session.
