I spent a dozen years as an academic librarian focusing on teaching critical information literacy, working against structural oppression within libraries, and growing as a collaborative leader.
In 2022, I decided to begin working toward a career change that would allow me to focus entirely on supporting library workers reach their professional goals.
I completed training to become a professional coach, and earned my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Credential from the International Coaching Federation.
As a librarian, I felt like I was always juggling about a dozen hats at once.
As a coach, though, I’ve found that I most love working with leaders who care deeply about building a healthier team culture.
I’ve worked with clients who were:
⭐️ In a new role, realizing they had just stepped into a whole mess of legacy toxicity
⭐️ A couple of years into navigating an internal promotion, reporting to the person who held their role before them while trying to detangle the departmental dysfunction that other leader had fostered
⭐️ In a middle management role between a problematic admin and a resentful team
⭐️ Academic deans of libraries, or of the larger unit that includes the library
⭐️ Public library managers
⭐️ Building their leadership skills in hopes of moving into a management role
I’d love to talk with you about how I can support you in developing toward your goals.
