Entrepreneur
In 2016 I left my job as a librarian to start Digital Respons-Ability. I loved being a librarian, but I saw gaps in digital citizenship education that needed to be filled. I wanted to serve a broader range of students, parents and adults. The talented staff at Digital Respons-Ability is available for digital citizenship trainings for students, parents and educators.
