Curiosity rules my world. I am always trying to figure out how things or processes work or why people do what they do. As a kid, this got me called nosy. I grew up in an entrepreneurial family and learned at an early age you did what needed to be done and asked questions to be successful. For most of my career I worked in jobs where I had no prior content experience. Skills, specifically my leadership and managerial skills, are transferable. Currently I wear 2 hats as Director of The Colorado Talking Book Library and Director of the State Publications Library. My prior experience includes 15 years in the corporate world at Hewlett Packard and Polaroid Corp and 8 years of entrepreneurial experience in manufacturing and retail. My first paid library job was at the Colby College Library. I graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, MO and received my MLIS from Simmons College in Boston. I am a Boston native but after one February of shoveling 12 feet of snow, decided there had to be a better way to live. For the last 19 years I have lived in Colorado. I read eclectically, no big surprise, and garden. Specialties: leadership, management, strategic planning, customer service, advocacy
