About me

I have been the Library Director of the Ephraim Public Library for about a year and a half. Prior to this, I was an Archives Processor at Weber State University. I am an alumnus of Southern Utah University (BS- History) and San Jose State University (MLIS). I love non-fiction books and Young Adult literature. I am a huge Disney fan. I have traveled to Ghana, where I helped organize and improve a school library. Since then, I have developed a desire to travel the world. I have a goal to visit every continent.
