Chat with the Chair: Legal Research & Information Resources

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Growing up I always thought I would become a teacher. I loved reading and learning and had some great, inspiring teachers in the Boone County school system in Northern Kentucky. 

What made you want to be an attorney?

In undergrad, I majored in English and minored in Political Science, with the idea that I might teach English at the high school or college level. I really enjoyed studying the law and the judicial system in my political science classes, though, and decided to focus instead on the good work I could do as an attorney. After practicing for several years, I pivoted to law librarianship, which allowed me to focus on the research and learning aspects of the law while continuing to serve the community in a different way. 

What’s your favorite food?

This is a tough one to narrow down because I really love food, but I think I would have to say tacos. They're so versatile and can really encompass anything from fancy ingredients to simple, with lots of different spice levels and flavors. Plus, there's a great taco truck within walking distance of my house in Pleasant Ridge, so you can't beat that!

What are your goals for this year as Chair? 

I'd love to grow our membership. Our committee provides a great opportunity for legal information professionals to network and share ideas. The more of us who participate, the better and more robust the discussion and the more innovations we can bring back to our respective organizations. I'd also like us to put on a CLE focused on the changing information landscape. Things are developing so rapidly with AI and it's important for lawyers to have updated information to properly serve their clients.
