Hello!

I’m Krissa Corbett Cavouras.

I’m a librarian by training and a digital strategist by trade. Before relocating to San Francisco with my family, I was the Director of Digital Engagement for Brooklyn Public Library’s Marketing & Communications team for eight years, and co-hosted for the Library’s flagship podcast, Borrowed, which you can listen to here and subscribe via Apple Podcasts here. I’m also an occasional essayist! My latest was a piece for Romper about my complicated relationship with my dog.

My childhood was spent mostly in Africa. My parents’ work took us from Morocco to Cote D’Ivoire, from Tunisia to Kenya.  I studied writing and political science at Sarah Lawrence College and then worked in publishing for a few years before getting my master’s degree at Pratt Institute’s School of Information.

I share my life and weekends with my husband and our two kids. I’m an avid cyclist and ride my kids to school and daycare on “Tess”, our beetle blue Tern GSD eBike. When I’m not working or parenting, I spend my time birding, reading novels about complex women, and devouring culture podcasts.
