  • Library Page

    • Sep 2011 - Apr 2013

    My job description in the library was to reshelve returned books, but my role developed far beyond that. My efficiency in this role opened up time to process new acquisitions, and assist with research questions. I'm most proud of having taken the initiative to create the Music Theatre section. As a student in the Music Theatre course at Sheridan College, I proposed a separate area for plays, scores and libretti. The project lasted for most of my time at the library and I was responsible for consolidating all the relevant books in the library, labelling, and setting up the area. Upon completion I also took the initiative to create lists of materials to acquire, to assist in collection development.

My students won awards for most improved student in the fields I have tutored them in. In 2012 I was honoured as a Sheridan Student Leader in the Peer Tutoring Department.
