Professional

This is what I'm currently doing. To view my full resume or CV, connect with me on LinkedIn or send me an email and I'd be happy to share it with you. (Please leave a note when you connect on LinkedIn so that I have some idea of who you are if we haven't met!)

As a member of the library team, I contributed to collection development, managed all of our web and social media presences, handled all materials processing and cataloging, supervised volunteers and student assistants, created displays, and planned programming for students and adult employees. I left at the end of my second year to pursue more creative and intellectual challenges and to relocate closer to family.

Find me on Thumbtack or contact me directly to discuss what I can do to help you. For webdesign, I don't use the software on this site (Wix) because, as you can see, it's unfriendly. But if you are interested in starting a Wordpress site, I can set it up for you and teach you how to keep it updated. I am an experienced manuscript reader who can read your work and provide you a full report plus line edits to get you ready for submission. Or let's talk about other ways I can use my skills to help you.
