Hello!

My name is Andrea Milne. I'm a STEM liaison librarian at the University of Waterloo, and have been with the University since November 2023. Prior to joining the UW team I was a research assistant at Conestoga College in their business department working on a project that investigated the disclosure of mental health illnesses in the work place. Additionally, I have worked on a variety of smaller research projects as a research assistant for a faculty member in the Schulich School of Business at York University. Before all of this, I spent approximately 10 years with the Alberta Research Centre for Health Evidence (ARCHE) at the University of Alberta, where I began as a research assistant, completed my MLIS, then continued on as a librarian and project coordinator. ARCHE is primarily focused on the development of systematic reviews for health interviews.

I am interested in pursing further research in the areas of misinformation and disinformation, especially in how it pertains to young people and health information.

Outside my professional life, I enjoy creating my own clothing through sewing and knitting, I bake most of my own bread, and I bike, hike and ice skate whenever possible. I am also the author of eight full-length novels and am currently working on my ninth (and third series finale).
