How long have you worked for the library? Since November 2021
What made you want to work in libraries?
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference – often in small but impactful ways – that enhance learning and teaching outcomes for our faculty, students, and staff.
What do you like most about your job and about working for ATSU?
I’m surrounded by collaborative colleagues who support one another and create a safe space to try new ideas, make mistakes, and grow.
What is a fun job you had before ATSU?
Working at a community college. Most of the students were first-generation college students, and they often needed a lot of support – not just academically, but personally too. It was incredibly rewarding to be part of their journey, helping them navigate challenges and celebrating their successes. The sense of community and purpose made every day feel meaningful.
What is a fun/unique/exciting tidbit to know about you, or how do you spend your free time?
I enjoy spending quality time with family, exploring nature, relaxing and walking, and fun fact, I enjoy dancing and gardening. During my undergraduate years, I joined the ballroom dance club and had the exciting opportunity to compete!
