Work Experience

I worked as a student assistant at Syracuse University, library trainee at a county law library in Syracuse, bookmobile librarian, children’s librarian and city librarian with the Timberland Regional Library System (WA). I moved to California in 1973 as the project director for the Lake County Library Project. From 1974-1995, I administered grant programs, provided consulting services and conducted training programs for the Library Development Services Bureau of the California State Library.

I've been a full time independent consultant since 1996. After going to a FISH! workshop, I gave myself the title of Planning and Training Wizard.
