Librarianship as mentorship
Libraries, as third spaces, have the capacity to create a culture of belonging for the communities they serve. My work focuses on helping library workers understand their roles as mentors and facilitators in that process.
my values
rooted and intentional
Healing-Centered
Moving beyond trauma-informed care, healing-centered engagement acknowledges that individuals are more than their collective trauma(s).
Youth-Centered
Recognizing and minimizing adultism is one of many preventative measures library staff can utilize to create effective intergenerational spaces of belonging.
Relationships First
The environmental conditions we create for young people to thrive are only as good as the relationships that we cultivate to exist within those conditions.
my services
customized training for your library staff or board.
I understand each library and community comes with its own distinctive opportunities and challenges. My approach is centered on gaining a profound understanding of your specific needs, objectives, and obstacles. By leveraging my experience working both the frontlines and in leadership roles, I craft customized trainings that precisely align with your professional development goals.
