Who We Are
I have been selling books since I was 17 and I am grateful to all those who hired me and gave me opportunities to work in a world full of books. If time could be marked by the books we read, then my first bookselling experience was where I read just about every book by Kurt Vonnegut, at my next bookselling adventure I learned to read Gabriel Garcia-Marquez and it followed with my last bookstore job where I discovered my absolute love for children’s books. All I ever wanted to do was to share my love of books. I am so happy that I get to continue sharing this love at Express Booksellers with our clients and partners.
In addition to managing the office for EBS, I also work as a professional theatre artist. I am an artistic company member at several theaters in Dallas including Kitchen Dog Theater and The Drama Club. I also serve as the Associate Producer and Casting Director for Shakespeare Dallas which produces Shakespeare in the Park. In my spare time I occasionally work at the Nasher Sculpture Center as an Assistant Conservation Lab Technician and I volunteer for Arts Mission Oak Cliff, an artist coworking and educational center focused on disciplined performing arts and our community.
I’m the contract manager here at EBS. In the time I have been here, I have enjoyed working with everyone. Outside of EBS I love to spend time with my kids. I’m also crazy about going to the movies, food, and learning how to manage the ‘adult’ life. In addition to working here I have set a new goal, to read more books.
When I’m not managing EBS and other business interests, I love spending time with my wife and teenage kids in our adopted city of Portland, OR. We have deep professional and family connections in Texas, and I am blessed to have many opportunities throughout the year to spend time in the Dallas office with our incredible staff. I have a passion for working with non-profits, and am proud that our companies and employees embrace giving back to the local community through volunteering and philanthropy.
As a newly inducted member of the sandwich generation, I am finding that my days fly by! I sincerely enjoy working with everyone at EBS; they are good people with great hearts. I love spending time with my four kids, listening to audiobooks, and hanging out with my husband. I’m a foodie and may be the only person alive allergic to working out. I’m learning to manage my elderly parent’s needs and those of my family’s. I patiently await my certificate of membership in the mail.
Giving Back
EBS is a proud sponsor of the annual North Texas Giving Day matching event held at Metropolitan Press each September. We contribute to a pool of matching funds, allowing every non-profit donation made onsite to be matched dollar for dollar on North Texas Giving Day. What an incredible event and a big day of giving for our local non-profit community!
We also make donations to schools and other organizations, and spend time volunteering in the local community. We are passionate about giving back.
