Hello from Tucson, AZ, where we love to tell you that despite the 120-degree temperatures, the heat here is a \u201cdry heat,\u201d which supposedly makes it bearable – as if a dry heat isn\u2019t exactly what an oven is. I moved to Tucson from Tallahassee two summers ago and I must say, despite the sweltering weather here, I do not miss the Florida humidity one bit! I love being surrounded by the mountains and the desert scenery. It\u2019s a stark change from what I experienced growing up in the flat plains of the Midwest, and a welcome one. Desert living is pretty much as you\u2019d expect, though \u2013 I once had both a tumbleweed and a roadrunner cross the street in front of me within less than 30 seconds of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work for the University of Arizona Libraries in the Access and Information Services department, supporting our reference services team and helping train our library staff and student workers. Academic libraries have been my focus ever since I fell in love with the Bodleian Library at Oxford. I also have a particular interest in the field of digital humanities and in the future I would love to work on projects that intersect academia, digital media, and archival work. After finishing my MSI at FSU, I plan to also complete a certificate in Archival Studies from UArizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My interest in taking this class is to bolster my skills in media production. I\u2019ve always loved playing around with programs like Canva and iMovie, but I\u2019ve never taken any formal coursework regarding digital media other than an introductory web design course in undergrad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past fall I visited Devil’s Bridge in Sedona, Horseshoe Bend in Page, and also took a trip up to Mount Lemmon<\/a>, just north of Tucson. (All pictured below.) When I’m not adventuring around my new home state, you can usually find me at home watching Netflix, playing Pokemon and Assassin’s Creed, practicing my French on Duolingo, or curled up with a good book – right now I’m reading Curious Tides<\/a><\/em> by Pascale Lacelle. I also love going to concerts. Next month, my boyfriend and I are going to the Innings Festival here in Arizona to see Greta Van Fleet, Jimmy Eat World, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I’m so excited! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
