I am a Manager with DC Public Library. With 20 years in public libraries, I have worked in diverse settings from Oakland, Los Angles, Prince William and Arlington, VA to the District of Columbia serving children, teens, and adults. I am an ALA Councilor-at-Large and active on committees in ALA, PLA, LLAMA, DC Library Association and the Virginia Library Association. I have 17 years in leadership, management, and supervision. I completed the ALA Leadership Institute in 2015 and am currently enrolled in the ALA-APA Certified Public Library Administrator's Program. Over the past two years, I've enjoyed leading workshops, webinars, and writing for Public Libraries Online about different aspects of management and leadership.
