My story began at the local public library when I got my very first real job. After two years at the public library, I worked at a rare books store during my undergraduate years at the University of Illinois at Chicago. From 2008 to 2012, I worked at the University of Chicago Special Collections Research Center while earning my library degree and working with rare books, archives, and manuscripts. Today, I work at my alma mater, UIC, in a large academic research library and I love it!
