You chose to work in libraries because you want to make a positive difference in the world, but now you need support to actually create the effect you want to see.
Whether you’re ready to take your work to the next level or need help navigating an obstacle, I’m here to help you find your path forward.
Let’s talk!You’re in the right place if you are:
❤️ A library leader who wants to lead in a way that empowers your team because you want to create a kinder, healthier workplace than what you came into
🧡 A library worker who wants to use your position to work toward social justice, and need a collaborator to help you figure out how to do that more effectively
💛 A new librarian trying to figure out how to navigate meeting promotion and tenure requirements in a way that’s aligned with your values, so that you can build a career that you’re proud of
💚 A mid-career librarian who needs help rediscovering your “why”, so that you can feel energized about your work again
💙 An overworked library worker who is ready to stop, take a breath, and build a strategy to tame your workload, so that you can actually do work you’re proud of and get some of that work-life balance that people talk about
💜 A library worker who is navigating a late diagnosis of neurodivergence and exploring how that has shaped your work relationships
After feeling stuck for several years, Angela helped me identify and clarify my goals and map out an action plan. Now, instead of just ticking items off my to-do list week after week, I feel like I’m working towards a unified purpose.

How can coaching help you?
As a coach, I help you stay mindful about acting in ways that are in alignment with your values.
To do that, I listen to what you avoid saying as well as what you do say. I ask thought-provoking questions to challenge you to think about your situation from other perspectives.
I help you examine what facts are true and what are actually just parts of a story you’re telling yourself, so that you can explore your full range of options and move forward in a way that you’ll be proud of later.
Let’s talk about what support you need![Just a single session] put things into perspective and gave me some hope about things getting better 🙂

Coaching packages:
Coaching is an investment in your future, but we don’t all have the same resources available to invest, so I offer sliding scale pricing for individual coaching. Check the chart at the bottom of the page to see which pricing level you fit into. And if you’re not able to use professional development funding to enroll, we can also break the price up into a monthly payment plan.
