Helping others has always been at the core of my professional journey. From social work to education technology, my focus has remained steadfast: empowering people to grow, learn, and connect.My career began with a Bachelor of Social Work, where I cultivated a deep understanding of how to support others and meet them where they are. This foundation prepared me for diverse and meaningful experiences, including volunteering in the Scottish Highlands, caregiving, and serving in leadership roles at a summer camp. Each step has strengthened my adaptability, problem-solving skills, and passion for service.Currently, I work as a systems technician, where I ensure technology serves as a bridge, not a barrier, to education. In this role, I collaborate with educators and students to troubleshoot challenges, manage resources, and create streamlined processes that enhance learning environments. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the intersection of technology, education, and information access—pivotal elements in modern librarianship.Inspired by my work and experiences in high school libraries, I am pursuing a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) at the University of South Carolina. My goal is to become a high school librarian who transforms the library into a dynamic hub of learning, creativity, and connection. I aim to foster spaces where curiosity thrives, information is accessible, and students feel empowered to explore their passions.Core Skills and Strengths:Adaptability: I excel in adjusting to new challenges, whether troubleshooting technical issues or pivoting during global uncertainties.Collaboration: I thrive in team-oriented environments, building bridges between technology, education, and individuals.Advocacy: I am passionate about equitable access to information and creating opportunities for growth and learning.I believe the modern library is more than a collection of books—it’s a place for exploration, innovation, and community. As I continue my professional journey, I look forward to combining my technical expertise, educational background, and passion for helping others to shape the future of school libraries.Let’s connect if you share an interest in education, technology, or librarianship.
