Geek Gal is Sarah Hodge-Wetherbe's dad who took her to her first Star Trek convention as a child, sealing her future as a card-carrying geek. By day she is the head librarian for teen services with the Springfield, Ma city library, but as Geekgal she tours around New England lecturing on various aspects of geek culture. She's performed for all sorts of venues from The Norman Rockwell Museum to the Massachusetts library association. She has also staffed many conventions, including a three-year stint as head of guest relations at Anime Boston. She advises ignoring the dog park, thinks Bruce Banner is the best Avenger, and takes her tea earl gray and hot.

​Sarah lectures on a variety of geek cultural topics. From panels for fans to professional panels on using geek culture in educational settings, she has something for every event. She has been touring and speaking for over 15 years.
