| Introduction | I am a fourth generation Floridian. I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Criminal Justice. I worked for five years at the Lakeland Public Library then took time off for my children. I then worked several part-time jobs and volunteered at my children's school. Seven years ago I started part-time at the library at Polk Community College on the Lakeland Campus in public services. Then five years ago I changed to technical services as the Acquisitions Technician. I buy the books, videos, and now digital licensing rights for our digital library we started last year. I am very involved in collection development, researching what we have, searching for newer materials, and recommending titles to update our library. I also cover the reference desk when needed. |
| Interests | I love reading and gardening. I have been a runner for 30 years ever since my first year of college. I have run everything from a 5k to a marathon. |
