I have written over 400 professional reviews since I began reviewing in 2015, all of which have been for books written for children and teens. I worked as a public librarian at the Denver Public Library for over five years, during which time I led Storytime and other programs for young readers. I feel that stories are a way of communicating and preserving the essence of humanity, and the more great stories we have, the better. I read fiction and nonfiction and am particularly interested in seeing more books by and about people of color.
