What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a dynamic environment where I can grow through continual skill development, contribute effectively, and apply my library security and information services strengths to become a valuable asset in the corporate world.

I’ve built my career in university library environments, where I support day-to-day operations with a strong focus on security, accurate records, and user guidance. Since 2020, I’ve worked as a Library Security Checker—inspecting the library before opening, controlling user entry, maintaining user statistics, and running patrols to protect materials and facilities.

Before that, I developed information-science skills through library clerk duties and hands-on attachments, including cataloguing and classification using MARC into the ABCD database, and issuing/returning materials with KOHA. I’m comfortable with reference services, circulation and serial management, and ensuring records are kept as per ISO requirements—always striving to contribute effectively in a dynamic environment.
