I am a librarian, creative thinker and connector.
-
- You can read articles I have written for INCITE, Letters to a Young Librarian, blog posts and Medium.
- I was the co-host of Turbitt & Duck: The Library Podcast.
- I’ve co-presented papers at the 7th New Librarians’ Symposium, Health Libraries Australia Professional Development Day, ALIA Information Online 2017 and LIANZA 2017. And facilitated a workshop at the 9th New Librarians’ Symposium in 2019.
- I have a Bachelor of Information Studies from Charles Sturt University and a Certificate IV in Community Services (Mental Health) with Distinction from TAFE New England.
- I co-convened the 8th New Librarians’ Symposium, held in Canberra in June 2017 at the National Library of Australia. The event was a sell-out with the highest number of registrations for this event ever. Our committee was a group of feisty, smart and strategic volunteers!
- In the last few years I’ve worked in a special library, research governance and communication, public library and Australian Library & Information Association.
- I was a technology tutor for the Central Coast Seniors Computer Club, teaching Mac and online skills.
- Before libraries (and during my library studies) I was the Secretary, then Chairperson of the Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre. During my time on the Board I led the development of the neighbourhood centre’s strategy, records management policy and online presence.
- My role in research governance was focused on communications and marketing, building the research profile of the organisation and supporting new researchers to achieve their goals. I was also the project manager for the inaugural CCLHD Research Symposium in 2016.
- I am always looking for ways to customise learning and communication so that it works for individual situations, and will ask why?
