I am originally from Austin, Texas, but moved to WNY with my husband in 2003. We have two boys, 6 and 11, and currently live in Akron. I began my career as an art teacher in 1995 but in 2012, my professional trajectory changed and I found myself in "library land"... an adventure that fills my heart, feeds my soul, exceeds my expectations and I love just a little bit more every day!

I love creating, reading (especially historical fiction and science fiction), swimming, baking, camping, fishing and travel. One day, I would love to own a seasonal food truck that only serves desserts :)

I adore being with my family (both human and animal), I am passionate about the environment, homesteading, disaster preparedness and achieving sustainable living. I am pretty much obsessed with AMC's The Walking Dead!
