I moved to Portland a little less than a year ago. I work on-call at Tigard Public Library and part-time at Cedar Mill Community Library. I hope to find a full-time opportunity in a public library. I am extremely passionate about collection development, readers' advisory, and reference services.

I also started a podcast called To the Stacks and Beyond focusing on pop culture and library news as well as library events!
