SLO 5 – The student engages in professional development and service and identifies specializations and related professional organizations as relevant to individual interests.
Finding my path on the road to librarianship has been a winding road to say the least. I come into the field with a varied academic background in both the sciences and humanities and an unrelenting passion for discovery and knowledge, as well as professional experience in archival studies and reference/instruction. I intend to keep pursuing work within academia and, in all honesty, look forward to identifying Ph.D. programs in the coming future that run parallel to my research and pedagogical interests. My time at UNC Greensboro has instilled a love of instruction and user engagement within me that will continue to allow me to strive for the highest in my future pursuits.
