What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining library services, teaching, and community outreach in collaborative organizations that value learning, cross-disciplinary work, and professional growth.

I am a passionate library associate and adjunct instructor with a Master of Arts in Art and Design (3.80 GPA) and a BS in Marine Biology. I thrive on learning across science, the arts, and technology and tackle challenges with gusto.

In my current role I assist patrons with information, technology, and readers' advisory using GCPL systems and support community outreach and branch services; as an adjunct I prepare and deliver lectures, lesson plans, and evaluate student progress. I bring strong communication, ILS and Blackboard proficiency, cross‑platform OS knowledge, and a dependable record in program support and administrative documentation.
