Who is she that leaps? April 20, 2007

THIS BLOG CONTAINS THE OPINIONS OF ME, MYSELF, AND I ONLY – THIS MAY OR MAY NOT JIVE WITH THE OPINIONS OF MY EMPLOYER, MY PUBLIC RADIO STATION, MY MOM, AND QUITE POSSIBLY MY DOG. Sigh! Now that is overwith…:

Manager of the Information Technology Department at Wake County Public Libraries in Raleigh, NC for 8+ years, Theresa thought she’d work in reference when she first thought of becoming a librarian. However, a year’s study abroad in Sheffield, England in 1995-1996 changed all that. This weird online place called the Internet was just starting to buzz, and Theresa used it in all it’s glorious text 1.0 functionality to keep abreast of things stateside.
Returning to North Carolina, she continued her studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and met another librarian in training, Michael, who would become her fabulous husband.
In February 2008, she became a mama to Aidan Padraig, and her world turned wonderfully upside down.  The joy she feels every day is amazing, despite the occasional thought that her mama duties has taken her down a notch in how “cutting edge” she can be in regards to Library IT “stuff”.  But she wouldn’t change her life – and all her time with Aidan – for all the cool tools that are now and ever will be part of the digital world.
Her dream is to one day raise goats and be a cheese maker, while husband cultivates a successful organic blueberry farm in the Mountains of North Carolina.
