I have worked in libraries since 2013 & have never looked back! I love books & reading, but I also love information sharing & helping others find relevant information to make their lives better, easier, &/or more interesting.

Personal

Dietary Restrictions
I am lactose-intolerant & thus cannot have dairy products. Luckily, I have found ways to handle these restrictions, like ordering pizza without cheese or finding amazing dairy-free ice cream options from Ben & Jerry's!

I am also allergic to avocados & peanuts (although not severely).
