I've worked in and for Idaho libraries since my first job as a library page at the Boise Public Library during my senior year of high school. Since then, I worked in Youth Services and Information Technology before coming to ICfL in 2017. My joy is demystifying technology and making it more accessible for library staff and library users. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family playing games of all varieties, taking our Corgidor dog Dash for walks, and eating pizza.

Hi there! I spent 10 years at a branch library before moving over to ICfL. I have experience providing programs and services for all ages, and an orientation toward marketing and customer service (with 10 additional years in restaurants and retail). Even though I specialize in Youth Services, I am excited to talk about most library topics. I have young children, so talking to you may be the only "grown up" conversation I have in a day. Let's chat!
