About My Work
I currently work as the licensing specialist for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. I'm responsible for our use of third party licensed content as well as licensing out our museum-created IP. Our museum uses an enormous amount of licensed content, mostly still images, av, and some music. I have a background in copyright obtained through my time working in academic libraries. I have a certificate in Canadian Copyright Law from Leslie Ellen Harris's CopyrightLaws.com, a Masters degree in Gender, Feminist, and Women's Studies from York University, and a diploma in Library and Information Studies from Red River College.
