Crossroads and spaces in-between have always fascinated me. For nearly 30 years, I worked in libraries in higher education. The first decade I spent in librarian roles at the intersections of reference and electronic services, instruction and collections, research and computing. After that, I found a home in merged library and technology roles in fully and partially merged library/technology organizations. Now I am working in public libraries, where I’m at the intersection of community relations, collections, outreach, events, digital services, and non-profits.

I am currently the Director of the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor, ME. Prior to that, I served as Dean of Library Services of the Madeleine Clark Wallace Library at Wheaton College (MA), a liberal arts college located between Boston, MA and Providence, RI. Before Wheaton, I directed research and instructional support teams at both Mount Holyoke College and Wellesley College, research liberal arts colleges for women. Those teams advanced excellence in teaching, learning, and student and faculty research, drove instructional technology innovation, led information literacy initiatives, and developed outstanding library collections. They were ridiculously fun jobs.

I like spaces in-between. There’s magic here.
