PRIOR WORK EXPERIENCES:
First inspired by my elementary school librarian, I have had a love for libraries and everything they represent for as long as I can remember. I began working and volunteering in my school library in the first grade and have not missed a day working in or being in a library from that time forward. Libraries and librarians have enriched my life in many, many ways and have given me so much. My hope, passion, and purpose has been / is to help libraries and librarians continue enriching lives as they have enriched mine.
