Workshop leader

I’m a school librarian with 20 years in the international schools sector as a library manager, reading expert, school inspector, consultant, and library trainer. I am a founding board member of the UAE School Librarians Association. I have worked in UK, Australian, NZ, Vietnam, & UAE. My current area of interest is how to design for plagiarism prevention using systems thinking, especially the mostly neglected relationship between AI and student wellness. I enjoy working on any project that builds culture and community. I regularly speak at reading and library conferences, mostly in collaboration with the Emirates Literature Foundation… https://elfdubai.org/ I founded an affordable training organization for school librarians called Beyond Books… https://beyondbooks.ae/ and I publish podcasts and essays as Atheneum on Substack… https://atheneumlibrary.substack.com/
