What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to enhance community engagement and support lifelong learning.

I am a dedicated library associate with a Master of Library & Information Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia. My experience spans various roles in library services, where I have successfully collaborated on marketing initiatives, designed engaging programming, and contributed to collection development. My recent position at the Saint Louis County Library has allowed me to enhance community engagement through innovative programming and effective communication strategies.

Prior to my current role, I served as a Library Associate III at Kirkwood Public Library, where I created marketing displays and conducted surveys to assess stakeholder needs. My background in education and psychology, combined with my hands-on experience in library settings, equips me with a unique perspective on fostering learning and literacy in diverse communities. I am committed to supporting patrons of all ages in their quest for knowledge and resources.
