Learning and Development Professional
I’m the Senior Program Manager for Fare Ambassador Training at Sound Transit in Seattle, Washington where I design learning and training experiences for employees. Before joining Sound Transit, I was the Instructional Designer/Learning Community Manager for WebJunction, the free, online learning hub for public library staff. I was the Employee Learning and Development Instructional Designer at Pierce College from 2018-2022.
Librarian
I earned my Master’s degree in Library Science from Emporia State University and since then, I have worked as an academic librarian for the University of Colorado Denver (2016-2017), Green River College (2017), Pierce College (2012-2016), and Lower Columbia College (2012).
Professor
I earned tenure as a community college faculty librarian in 2016. I’ve taught college-level courses on a variety of topics, including reading, college success, information literacy, and productivity software. I’m skilled at facilitating online, face-to-face, and hybrid courses. I continue to teach part-time simply because I enjoy it.
Conference Organizer
In 2018, I convened a group of 70 volunteers to organize a three-day multi-site conference with a budget of $100,000. I managed the web and social media presence for the conference, drafted a call for proposals, delegated work to volunteers, and drafted a conference schedule, all in my spare time. I love event organizing and logistics.
Chat Reference Volunteer
From 2020-2022, I was a chat reference volunteer for the 24/7 librarian chat service known as Answerland, managed by the Oregon State Library. I answered a variety of questions from library users around the globe every week.
Author
I published my high school memoir, Please Don’t Kill the Freshman, in 2003 when I was seventeen years old. Since then, I’ve published essays, poetry, and short stories.
Keynote Speaker
In 2018, I gave one of the invited plenary sessions at the California Academic & Research Libraries conference.
