I am the manager of the Wescott Library in Eagan, which is the busiest library in Dakota County and the home of the county's library administration. I have my Master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland-College Park and a background in economic development partnerships, makerspace technology, and reference service management. As a 2018 Knight Foundation Public Library Innovation Exchange fellow I helped implement MIT Media Lab's Databasic.io curriculum on improving Data Culture. I have written about techniques for increasing access to technology for disconnected populations and am currently a member of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Saint Paul class of 2019.
