About
I graduated in 2001 from USF in Tampa with an MA in LIS. I have been a Children’s Librarian, an Information Specialist, a Teen Services Librarian, a Government Documents librarian, an Instruction Librarian; however, through all of this, I am always a Reference Librarian. In 2014, I received a Certificate of Information Architecture from FSU. I love finding answers to people’s questions, digging through genealogy for patrons, and providing Reader’s Advisory. I am also a NEFLIN MTI graduate as of August 2025. Meeting authors is one of my favorite pastimes, as well as reading, making beaded jewelry, and snuggling with my cats. I started working at CCPL in March of 2023 and love my job.
