Librarians are generalists, and I’ve become a bit of a jack-of-all-trades; I know a little bit about a lot of things and have widely varied experience. I am an eternal student and perpetual learner, and so enjoy furthering my personal and professional development whenever possible. I believe that my Wissensdurst and creativity more than make up for any lack of direct experience with something. I am detail-oriented, a quick study, and proficient with a myriad of software and technology, and always welcome new challenges.
