In addition to working full time with Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I also take on freelance work across the country, including leading seminars and conducting workshops, creating and delivering webinars, consulting on a variety of topics related to teens, authoring discussion guides for graphic novels, and developing online professional development courses for librarians.
If you would like my help with a different kind of project, please do not hesitate to contact me.
