Together we can leave the world better than we found it.
I’m a leader, not a boss. I model behaviors I expect while never assigning a task I’m unwilling to complete myself. I serve with empathy and incorporate the human element into everything I do.
I’m an expert researcher, knowledge manager, and early adopter who continually improves what works while fixing (or eliminating) what doesn’t. Whether it’s by starting the first public library 3d printing program in the region (Lane Libraries) or building and managing the first academic library makerspace in Cincinnati (Xavier University), I’m not afraid to roll my sleeves up with my colleagues to make an impact.
I’m a storyteller who keeps education personal. I make sure that learners understand the whys and not just the hows. My lessons are meaningful and engaging while keeping the formal (i.e. boring) lecturing to a minimum.
I teach more than just processes. I teach concepts, business skills, and soft skills. I also ensure my classroom is accommodating to learners of every type, style, and background.
In resume speak, that means:
● Technology-focused library leader and educator who serves communities and organizations that enrich, inform, and support people to be the best versions of themselves.
● Over 20 years of teaching experience, corporate and academic, comfortable in-person, blended/hybrid, and remote.
● Over 12 years of management experience, both public and academic libraries.
