Right now I am working as a public librarian and I manage the youth services department. I am responsible for overseeing all the programming & events for ages 0-18, serving on the branch management team,, coordinating with schools on outreach events, tours, etc., coordinating teen volunteers, etc. Before I got this position, I was the Teen Services Librarian in another county. In that position I would coordinate all the teen volunteers, lead at least four  library events for teens a month and help manage the After Hours Teen Center, which was a large event we’d host every Friday night. Before working in libraries, I was a police and fire dispatcher. In that capacity I also trained new 911 operators and existing employees looking to get promoted to dispatcher.

After having worked in public service for this will be my 9th year, I want to shift to  something different. After looking into project/product management, I became really interested because that field involves a lot of the skills I’m good at and love doing, like setting goals, organizing schedules, managing tasks, encouraging others, and working as a team. This position was especially interesting to me,  because it would be a really great opportunity for me to transition into this field and learn from experienced product managers.
