Portland, OR

What I am doing now.

I am a reference librarian for the Oregon Historical Society. Prior to that, I was the archivist for the Sacramento Public Library.

What are the most valuable skills I use in my job?

The ability to engage the public with confidence and a strong understanding of the print/electronic resources at my disposal. I look back to courses taught by Terry Crowley and Bob Wagers that make a huge difference – even today – in how I’m able to effectively provide meaningful service to researchers.
