What is your favorite book, eBook, DVD, or music score?

My favorite book is a historical autobiography called John Adams, by David McCullough. 

Why did you choose this item to share with the library?

I chose to share this item with the library because it is captivating.  John Adams is also a distant ancestor of mine. And it is fascinating to read this book to understand what our ancestors went through in the past from a historical perspective.

What is your major?

My major is Sociology. 

What was the most memorable/useful thing about working in the library?

The most memorable thing about working in the library was working in the special collections and working in the university archives.

What advice would you give to incoming SSU (e.g., freshman) students?

The advice I would give to incoming SSU students is to learn to be adaptive and receptive to learning something new, and a can-do attitude is essential. Creating relationships and networking is incredibly important because you never know what you will learn as you grow as a college student.

What is next for you?

Next for me is that I will be attending graduate school for library and information sciences in the fall. I will also be looking for a new job to reflect and complement my bachelor’s degree.
