She also curates the Graphic Novel collection for the NYC DOE Citywide Digital Library. She started her career at the Brooklyn Public Library and later jumped ship to the school system so she could have summer vacation and a job that would align with a growing family's schedule.

In her past life, she served on the Great Graphic Novels for Teens Committee where she solidified her love and dedication to comics.
