About Me
At Ellis Research & Consulting Services, I bring my extensive research & critical thinking skills learned from over 25 years as an academic librarian at Middlebury College, Clemson University, and the University of Pittsburgh. I combine this experience with my knowledge gained while earning a Graduate Certificate in Social Justice, completed in August 2025 from Harvard Extension School.
