A note on the header: “Look out, honey, ’cause I’m using technology” is from the Iggy Pop song “Search and Destroy.” As a librarian, I’m more interested in the “search” part.

I grew up in Virginia and California, earned my BA from Hampshire College, and worked at a literary agency in New York before returning to Massachusetts for library school. While earning my MLIS from Simmons College (now University) School of Library and Information Science in Boston, I worked at the America’s Test Kitchen* library and as a part-time Adult Services librarian at the Wilmington Memorial Library.

After library school, I worked in adult and children’s services at the Robbins Library in Arlington, MA and at the Winchester Public Library, before moving to Amherst, MA. I worked as a middle school librarian and an elementary school librarian for one year each, and have now returned to public libraries as the children’s librarian at the South Hadley Public Library.

I keep track of my reading with LibraryThing. In addition to reading, I love to cook and bake, do yoga, go on hikes, garden, quilt, and spend time with friends and family.

*Most delicious library job ever.
