I have been with Great River Regional Library for 17 years, first as a branch manager in a small, rural town, and now a regional supervisor with oversight of multiple libraries and staff. I received my MLIS from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. I am a former Peace Corps Volunteer (Togo, West Africa, 1990-1993) and LGBTQ advocate. I love working in the public library because it both supports my ethic of service and engages my curiosity about people, places, and technology. I am passionate about helping my staff do great and meaningful work in the communities we serve.
