Hello! I am Catherine (she/her). I live in northern Colorado with my partner, our two amazing teenagers, our beloved terrier-hound mutt, and 7 hens.
I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology over 20 years ago, & have been a stay-at-home mom for the past 17 years, while working at a Catholic preschool & a public middle school library for 8 of those years. I am currently almost halfway through the MLIS program at SJSU and hope to pursue public librarianship in children’s/youth services. I am taking Hyperlinked Library this semester because I have heard great things about the class and professor, and because I care deeply about library access for all and think this class will help me think about new ways to reach and engage all library users (and potential library users).
Outside of school and work, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, reading, writing poetry, roller skating and playing roller derby, and hiking.
