About Heather VanDyne

Part of the Forsyth Library's Teaching and Research Team, I serve at FHSU's Online Learning Librarian. I have a Bachelor's degree in Communication with an emphasis in journalism from Cal Poly Pomona and a Master's degree in Library Science from Emporia State University. I've worked at newspapers, public libraries and academic libraries in California, Missouri and Kansas. My professional interests include literacy, research, cultural awareness, and DEI in librarianship and academia. Personally, I spend my free time reading, exploring the outdoors with my family, and binge watching reality TV.
