I have worked for IHLS since March 2015. I have also worked at public, special, and academic libraries. I am the mother of two sons, Nathan, 24, and Jackson, 21. I spend time playing with my very naughty 38-pound Shiba Inu, Zander; walking, reading, and watching Amazon Prime. I have a serious audiobook addiction. Fun facts: The most interesting things that I have cataloged are a human skull (for a nursing school program) and my own dissertation! I love dogs, frogs, and pigs!
I am a newer cataloger at the CMC. I arrived here after cataloging for public and academic libraries over the last 15 years. I got into library work after being inspired by my wife – a high school librarian. We enjoy reading, gardening, homesteading on our ½ acre, and spending time with family. We have 2 large dogs, 3 ornery cats, 3 chickens, and 1 grumpy Australian rainbow fish named Max. Some of the most interesting items I've cataloged since arriving have been braille books.
