Librarian, 703-228-2937

I've been a librarian in Arlington Public Schools since 2011. I have a wonderful family, including my husband and two daughters: one in high school and the other in college at JMU (Go Dukes!). I am originally from Connecticut but have lived in the DC area since 1995. I love reading, of course, but I also love hiking, being in nature, photography, kayaking, and spending time with my family.

I am a second career-er. I left my IT consulting job when my first was born. I have worked as a vet tech and I love animals. I love to travel, eat, swim, ski, read, paddle board, and try new things. Come by the library and say HI!
