POV: You are the IKEA furniture that Will and I are putting together. We are excited about your potential.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hey! I’m Alex, I’m 28 years old, and I’m in my second semester of the MSI program. My pronouns are she\/her or they\/them. Nice to meetcha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My partner Will and I live in Columbus, Ohio in a little fixer-upper home with our four spoiled cats. If there weren’t limits on photos for this blog, I would LOVE <\/strong>to spam you all with cat pictures. But alas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born in a middle-of-nowhere town called Toronto, Ohio<\/a> (which is coincidentally where a famous FSU coach was also born, apparently?), but I also spent a chunk of my childhood in Dunedin, Florida. And that’s where my love for books and libraries started, thanks to my Gramma Kathie. We spent hours at our local branch reading together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t see librarianship in my future, though. That came after graduating from Ohio State with a degree in Japanese Language and Literature in 2016. I really didn’t know what <\/em>I wanted to do as a career, so I went with what interested me at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It took a few more years, an ADHD diagnosis, some realizations about what I want out of life and how I want to contribute to society, ETCETERA! before I made the decision to jump into all of this. So far, every class I’ve taken has affirmed my decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading. As a gift, here is my gramma’s recipe for pumpkin drop cookies, because they rock and you deserve good things. <\/p>\n<\/div>
