About
Present: I am a Youth Services Librarian at a public library in the lower Hudson Valley. I'm also an amateur runner, crafter, and zine maker. I volunteer for a podcast called Stealth: A Transmasculine Podcast.
Past: I obtained my masters degree in Library and Information Science at Pratt Institute in December 2020.While I focused my coursework and professional experience in children's and young adult services, I spent my time as a MLIS graduate student pursuing experience in various types of libraries. I worked for nearly two years as a middle school library assistant at an independent school, for two years as a public services graduate assistant at a university library, and for one semester as a reference and user services intern at the Brooklyn Historical Society's Othmer Library.
Further Back: Following college, I worked in journalism covering tech, gender/sexuality, politics, and popular culture. I have also taught after school and summer camp journalism courses to middle schoolers, covered local news, worked in guest services at a museum, and curated a series of panel events for a technology podcast. Before that I worked for many years as a barista, waitress, caterer, babysitter, and at a call center, among other things. I studied journalism and gender studies at SUNY Purchase, where I obtained my BA in 2014.
