I've been a Public Reference Librarian in Massachusetts for over fifteen years. I've also worked in Children's services, and had a previous career in non-profits. My undergraduate degree is in history, and in addition to my library degree, I have an MBA in nonprofit management.
At work I manage eResources and our Foundation Center collection, run Poetry Month programs in April, troubleshoot eBook issues, teach information literacy classes, and serve on our Social Media team.
At home I'm interested in history, the arts, genealogy, and sports.
I've lived most of my life in Massachusetts, but my family is originally from San Francisco.
