  After volunteering with the Office of Letters and Light for 8 years, I recently travelled to Berkeley California to complete my Public Relations practicum with the organization. The two months I spent there were extremely successful, and have led to a permanent position at OLL.

• Library Assistant

  • Feb 2004 - Jun 2011

  I've worked as a library assistant at four branches of the Edmonton Public Library. The diverse work means never doing the same things two days in a row, which is great for someone with a broad range of interests! It's immensely satisfying to be working for an organization that I so firmly believe in; libraries have been an important part of my life since I was a child.
