I am committed to lifelong learning, open and creative work cultures, meeting the needs of my community through fresh collections and innovative services, staff development, and advocating for libraries. Embracing innovation, growing a diverse staff, and using every resource at hand has led to revitalized services, positive work cultures with an engaged workforce, and opportunities to impact lives; none of which is taken for granted. While leading both rural and urban public libraries, I have demonstrated a commitment to creative and innovative leadership while building on past successes, with focuses on motivating and recruiting staff, establishing new services to meet community needs, and building partnerships with stakeholders. I thrive on challenges and enjoy finding creative solutions with the greatest impact.
