After moving to the area, she joined the staff and the Mystic and Noank Library. Realizing the importance of professional training, she completed her Master's in Library and Information Studies at URI. In 1996, she was selected to create the Children's Library at the Pequot Museum, which opened in 1988.

She has presented workshops at the Museum and to librarians and educators at conferences and colleges across New England.
