About me

I was director of the New Mexico Tech Library, at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, in Socorro, New Mexico, from 1981 to 1998. I have a B.A. degree in Library Science/Social Science from Northern Illinois University, an M.A. in Librarianship from University of Denver, and an M.B.A. from University of Missouri-Kansas City.

I've worked in libraries since my junior high days and have held professional positions at the Library of Congress, University of the Virgin Islands, University of Florida, and University of Missouri-Kansas City.

I have been active in various library organizations. I've served as secretary of the New Mexico Library Association, and represented the Tech Library in the New Mexico Consortium of Academic Libraries and New Mexico Library Services Alliance. I belong to the Friends of the Socorro Public Library and I was a trustee of the Socorro Public Library.

Currently I'm serving as a trustee for the Hillsboro Community Library.
