I currently live in the city of Pullman, Washington, where I work as a librarian. I hold a Master of Library and Information Science degree from the University of Washington Information School. I also hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, with a major in anthropology and a minor in history. I grew up in Bellingham, Washington where I attended Bellingham Cooperative School, Lowell Elementary School, Fairhaven Middle School, and Sehome High School. In 1986/87 I spent the year in York, England, where I lived at the University of York and attended Fulford Secondary School.
