Krystal is a Lecturer in Teacher Librarianship, with a keen interest in the evolving role of school libraries. She is currently finalising her PhD, exploring the critical influence of the teacher librarian, and aims to contribute new insights to the field through her research and teaching. Prior to working at Charles Sturt University, Krystal was a practising teacher librarian with experience working in both primary and secondary schools.

Krystal's research focuses on the delivery of school library information services and programs to school communities, with a particular interest in the role of the teacher librarian in leading these. She works collaboratively with members of the School to investigate all aspects of school libraries. Krystal's primary goal is to communicate findings to the practitioners who will benefit most.
