Life Since High School
 

After graduating from Hiram in 1983, I worked as a software programmer for a few years. Other things were happening in my life during this time – babies. Turns out I just didn't want to be a programmer.

I was an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for about 5 years. I really enjoyed that, but it wasn't a full time career.

I worked as a paraprofessional librarian at Middlefield Library and at Parkman BP during the same time period. (another 5 years)

If someone was to ask me what my favorite job was, it would be working at Parkman BP. I learned more at that job, than at any other job since. It was a great place to work and I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to work there. I was also in Grad School during part of this time.

I received a Masters in Library Science in 1994. Next I worked as the Head of Reference at Carnegie Public Library in East Liverpool for a few years. During this time the State of Ohio brought the “Internet” to the public libraries. We setup a network and brought in computers. The computers brought the kids in. The library underwent a very noisy, fantastic change.

The youth at Carnegie taught me what being poor is really all about. I truly enjoyed my time there working with the kids. It was there were I learned to stick to my principles keeping all information available to everyone. 

A great job opportunity appeared on the horizon and now I am in Ashtabula. I am the Technology Coordinator for the Council of Ashtabula County Libraries. I have been here since 1998.

 

In the meantime I have some passions to fill my life: quilting, vegetable gardeing, herb gardening, practicing self sufficiency, and of course making friends with all of the neighborhood kids. (They like eating things from my yard )


Someday I hope to move south again and live near some hills – or mountains. Ashtabula is just too darn flat. Of course it makes traveling in the snow much easier!
