New Job, Who Dis? Part II

 

From Intern to Coordinator 

I received some very exciting news recently...I was asked if I wanted to stay on at SwRI as a regular employee!

So today was my first official day as a regular employee. My time at SwRI has been great - I've learned so much about the library and have even learned about myself. For instance, I would not have thought that I liked working with rare books. Turns out, I am fascinated by their history and loved putting the virtual exhibit together. 

I've worked a lot of different types of jobs in my life but this is the first job that truly fits; not only what I can do now, but one that will allow me to learn and grow as well. The fact that librarianship is ever-changing is part of what drew me to the profession, to begin with. But the fact that I can use my skills in Adobe and video (at my current skill level) and not feel intimidated that I cannot create advanced, complex work is perfect. I love that I can be both creative and logistical. I like that I'm allowed to try different things, learn about areas that interest me, and that I get to work on multiple projects.


Beyond thrilled to be in an environment where I can apply my skills and experience to aid the various amazing projects going on here.
