What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a flexible role where I can apply my customer service, organizational, and research skills. I thrive in collaborative, mission-driven environments that value detail and efficiency. I'm eager to learn and grow, and I am looking for a company that supports professional development and effective service.

I am a motivated, customer-focused library professional with 5+ years of customer service experience and current hands-on work as a Circulation Assistant. I efficiently manage circulation desk operations, assist patrons with account inquiries and self-check machines, maintain accurate records, and contribute to organized collections through shelving and hold management.

I bring proven retail experience handling high volumes of customer interactions, strong attention to detail, and adaptability to new systems. I am eager to learn Library Integrated Systems (ILS), handle transactions, and grow in a public library environment while supporting a welcoming, efficient service culture.

My career interests include data entry/clerical, writing/editing, customer service/library, and research adjacent roles. I am interested in connecting with companies that value a detail-oriented, adaptable, and customer-focused approach to their work.
