Why The New York Public Library
In the greatest city in the world, the NYPL has a positive impact on residents from all walks of life and strengthens its communities.
Who am I?
I have spent most of my 14-year library career working at New York Public Library, where I began working at the St. George library branch as a Librarian Trainee while enrolled in my MLIS degree program. I have since progressed through the ranks to take on management roles in Staten Island as well as in Manhattan.
