Background/Interests

Before working in library service, I applied my writing skills an editor. Since, I have found a passion for library service, as I find the work very meaningful because I enjoy helping people. My current job at Stout applies my skills and advances my interest in the more technical aspects of library work. In my free time, I enjoy playing computer strategy games, reading (mostly fantasy or classic novels), and spending far too much time on YouTube.
