I spent 15 years working at Anythink, the public library system for Adams County, Colo., and one of the most recognized library brands in the world. As part of the team that developed, nurtured and evolved the Anythink brand, I have traveled worldwide to share the library's story, and inspire others passionate about creative thinking in libraries.

In my role as Director of Strategic Partnerships, I helped establish Anythink as a catalyst for innovation in Adams County through partnerships, events, and art - all while facilitating a deeper emotional connection between the library and the community through experiences and storytelling. 

​

In 2012, I helped launch R-Squared – The Risk & Reward Conference, which focused on creativity and taking smart risks to move libraries forward. As an extension of this, I was co-founder and former chair of the planning committee for Outside the Lines: Libraries Reintroduced, a global initiative demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries.

I also have experience working in various roles in community media and as an editor for a global newswire service.
