What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support literacy and patron access through library circulation, youth and teen programming, resource guidance, and an organized, welcoming library environment.

I'm currently supporting students and staff as a Library Media Assistant and Substitute Teacher for Cape Girardeau Public School District. I manage circulation, catalogue books, assist patrons with resources, and provide technical support.

I create age-appropriate book displays and library events that encourage diverse reading options for youth, teen, and young-adult readers. I also mentor student library assistants in procedures, patron service, organization, and work ethic.

My background includes more than 20 years of customer service management, 15 years of administrative management, and 15 years of training. As an Office Manager and Executive Administrator, I managed volunteers, payroll, payables and receivables, training, events, correspondence, and scheduling.

Outside of work, I've taught and performed improv comedy, helping students build teamwork, coordination, and conflict-resolution skills. I also volunteer with Girl Scouts, supporting financial literacy, confidence, and community service projects.
