I'm proud to lead an outstanding team of marketing and training professionals at NoveList, a company dedicated to helping libraries reach readers with the books they want and need through effective and engaging marketing. I have expertise in strategy, PR, email, social media, and collection marketing. My background includes nearly seven years as the Marketing Content Team Leader for the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and more than 20 years as an Emmy-award-winning broadcast TV journalist.
In 2015, I started the blog SuperLibraryMarketing.com. In each article, I share in-depth promotional strategies and tips for libraries around the world. I'm also the host of "The Library Marketing Show" on YouTube, a weekly segment where I answer viewer questions and share quick tips to help make the job of marketing a library easier and more effective.
I've been fortunate enough to work as a speaker, sharing insights and engaging audiences at conferences and events around the world for organizations including:
📚Library Marketing and Communications Conference
📚Ohio Library Council
📚Indiana Federation of Libraries
📚Illinois Library Association
📚Edge Conference for the City of Edinburgh, Scotland Council
📚Mississippi Library Association
📚New England Library Association
📚Inland Northwest Council of Libraries

📚Wild Wisconsin Winter Web Conference
📚Bergen County Cooperative Library System
📚New South Wales, Australia Libraries
📚Association of Small and Rural Libraries Conference
📚Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries
📚Northeast Florida Library Information Network
I also served as chair of Citizens for Finneytown Schools, the political action committee that successfully passed a 7.69 mil bond issue in November 2019 to build two new schools in Finneytown, Ohio.
