I received my master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Washington in 2000. I completed the RCA/UCLES Certificate TEFLA Course in Barcelona, Spain in 1995. I enjoy traveling and have visited countries in Europe and Southeast Asia. Many years ago, I was an exchange student in Uusikaupunki, Finland. Before coming to Seattle, I lived abroad in Sendai, Japan, and Barcelona, Spain. My husband I live in Seattle. Our two children are currently at university. I've been working at Highline since 2000. Among my other responsibilities as a faculty librarian at Highline, I am responsible for coordinating the library's reference services.

NOTE: I am available by email daily. It is also easy to arrange to meet online using Zoom. I have scheduled hours, and I am available by arrangement at other times.
