As the 2024-2025 Hunt Fellow for UNC University Libraries (UNC UL), I had the privilege of working with the GenAI Roadmap team to bring Generative AI (GenAI) into UNC UL in a way that's human-centered, responsible, and community-driven.
At Computers in Libraries 2025 conference, I presented this work on a national stage. I shared how libraries can lead in shaping ethical, accessible AI services that truly serve their users.
