I've been a librarian at Orem Public Library for 28 years. In the past six months I've transitioned to a digital services position (cataloging and digital resource management) and completed my MLIS. I love books, reading, cooking, hiking, traveling with my hubby and playing with my grands. I've been part of ULA's Paraprofessional Certificate Award program for two years and am passionate about the contributions of paraprofessionals and excited about program revisions.
