ABOUT ME: A community health advocate, social worker, and supporter of public libraries. I have worked in health and aging services in San Diego, California for about twenty five years, and hold a joint Master of Social Work and Master of Public Health, and recently completed a Master of Library and Information Science. I oversee the community health initiatives of a large healthcare district in the eastern region of San Diego County, and enjoy the challenge of purposeful work. Now in my early 50s, I’m also learning to enjoy the pleasures of leisure and my good Southern Californian life with my husband Marc, our little terrier Millie, lots of books, the San Diego Padres, and an intractable distance running habit.
ABOUT THIS BLOG: At work I don’t have the time or space for a lot of reflection, but my brain is blissfully full, and this is a sort of repository for the spillover. As a consumer health librarian, I am passionate about supporting people in finding and using good health information, and as a person with chronic mental and physical health issues, I’m always seeking it myself. I do occasionally share health information here, but it is only the documentation of my own learning, and should not be construed as health advice. This blog isn’t monetized, and I’m not an influencer. I read, think, and try to understand, and sometimes just need a place to set stuff down. Opinions expressed here are my own, and do not represent those of my employer.
