Biography

I am a meteorologist-turned-librarian. I like science, books, and libraries, so here I am! I can be techy and talk nerdy (just not fantasy...). Also, I like history, watching TV and movies, puzzles, and playing board games and card games. Yoga is my favorite “sport.” Besides reading, I like traveling, experimenting with kitchen recipes, and taking long walks or hikes with my dog and husband. Istarted learning Spanish and am relearning German, too. I’m a cool librarian!
