What I do at The New York Public Library
I lead and support the team of passionate and dedicated experts at Andrew Heiskell Library, whose work opens up access to literacy and reading materials for tens of thousands of people across New York City and Long Island.
Who am I?
I came to NYPL in 2025 from the Jersey City Free Public Library, where I was Chief of Staff. After decades working in the public sector, I have found my professional home in public libraries.
