I'm the half of The Childish Librarians that loves mindfulness, playing ukulele, guitar and piano, and writing! Things that make me happy include my cats (Bertie, Jethro, Link, and B.B.), my hognose snake (Lana), my spouse (Elliott), yoga, dancing, reading kidlit, horror movies, tattoos, and iced coffee.

I'm the half of The Childish Librarians that loves informational texts, intentional learning spaces, ALA Youth Media Awards, and making art! I'm also a BIG fan of bats, fall, animal facts, PBS, Mr. Rogers, John Lewis, Jane Goodall, Nikki Giovanni, baking cookies, appreciating art, my child (KJ), and espresso.
