I recently finished "The Best We Could Do" by Thi Bui and "Educated" by Tara Westover. I'm also mentally preparing myself to tackle Mark Danielwski's "House of Leaves." Otherwise, I'm mostly reading class materials, or articles related to some research topics I'm working on. When it comes to what I'm listening to, I tend to start my day with Morning Edition and other news podcasts (The Daily, Today Explained, etc). Plus I'll rotate in podcasts like Criminal, Reply All, Science Vs., Throughline, and Rough Translation. Also, anything Lizzo and Rosalía's Aute Cuture all summer.
Informative, community, engagement.

I had known that I wanted to go into academic librarianship, so it made sense to join ACRL. As a student, I also wanted to stay up to date on the latest research and developments occurring in librarianship.

I've worked in some form of library or cultural institution since 2004, mostly in support staff roles. My goal is to finally make the transition to academic librarian, with a focus on the social sciences. ACRL helps by providing access to a vast network of passionate library professionals. I got to experience this at ACRL 2019 in Cleveland, thanks to ACRL's support staff scholarship.

I'm the kind of person who loves to be able to learn more about any subject I can, from the IPA chart, to the yield curve, and to even the history of spam musubi. I'm always enthusiastic whenever a students comes to me with their research topic and their need for help finding resources. It gives me the chance to help them, while also learning more about their research interests. I'm excited to be part of a field that values the chance to constantly learn and improve.
