Collection Architecture
Selection, deselection, metadata hygiene, classification, preservation planning, and collection audits designed around actual community needs.
Cataloguing people + possibilities
A library is a map of what we can become.
I lead collection strategy, information literacy, digital discovery, and thoughtful reader services, so every community can find its next page.
