In my work at the library, I was able to use my creative skills to run programs for children and adults, promote the library and librarianship, and assist patrons with a wide variety of needs. My background in nonprofit was helpful when patrons needed support navigating the social service system, and my HR experience allowed me to help patrons create resumes and search for jobs. I also spent time networking and promoting library services, building relationships in the community and advocating for the institution.
