My goal is to provide targeted, value-added business intelligence to Ziba Design. This allows Ziba to provide clients with solutions to make meaningful, authentic connections with their consumers.
I am also an active member of the Special Libraries Association, helping to advance the knowledge and career development of all information professionals. I'm a member of SLA's First Five Years Advisory Council. As a part of the Council, I'll be enthusiastically working to help new professionals develop the skills they need to make the most of their careers.
