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.

Conflict of Interest Statement

edit

I am an employee of the Newton Free Library, a public library serving the community of Newton, Massachusetts.

I always strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability.

I do, from time to time, insert links or create articles based on library resources.

I will modify my editing behavior based on problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with other Wikipedia guidelines. I ask that other editors do not hesitate to contact me, via my user talk page, if I appear to be going against this declaration.
