I endeavor to bring joy, curiosity, and cohesion to the daily process of information seeking.
My dual roles as a middle school teacher and librarian shape how I show up for people: with empathy, and with deep regard for evidence-based practices and resources.
My lifelong love of dance and abiding fondness for poetry and creative writing also play integral parts in my work: I aim to stay embodied in present experiences with students, classes, and colleagues, and I derive joy and pride from collaborative creative processes.
Want to collaborate on a library, education, poetry, or social justice project? Drop me a line!
