I am originally from Salt Lake City, but moved to the wonderful Pacific Northwest about 9 years ago. I am obsessed with dogs and pigs, and will talk about them at great length if given the opportunity. I also love hiking and rooting for Portland's soccer teams in my increasingly limited free time. I'm especially interested in creative programming for teens, bilingual storytimes, and anything and everything Harry Potter.
