What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic library environment that values innovation and community engagement.

I am an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Librarian with a passion for fostering a love of reading and knowledge within the community. My background includes a Master of Library and Information Science, where I honed my skills in library management and customer service. I am committed to creating an engaging and efficient library environment that caters to patrons of all ages.

Currently, I manage circulation desk operations at Archangels Senior Secondary School, collaborating with my team to plan and execute programs that enhance the library experience. My previous experience as a Library Trainee at St. Joseph’s College allowed me to assist patrons in locating materials and resolving inquiries, further solidifying my dedication to excellent customer service.
