Hello! My name is Emma and I am a first year graduate student in the Information Science program. I am working to become a librarian after graduation, preferably in an academic setting. I am a third-generation FSU graduate and I received my undergrad degree in Studio Art in 2021. I lived in Tallahassee for almost 20 years and moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2020. I enjoy reading and building my own library collection in my spare time. My favorite books are Kristin Lavransdatter<\/a><\/em> (the title of this post is a quote from this book), Crime and Punishment<\/a><\/em>, and Little Women<\/a><\/em>. I am excited to take this class to build upon the technical skills I learned in my time studying digital media as an art form. I studied photography and photo editing, but I have very little knowledge of audio and video editing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite memories I have from my childhood is visiting Strozier Library with my dad when he was a PhD candidate in the early 2000’s. He would often bring me along to return books on the weekends while my mom was working and I loved walking with him through the towering rows of books and breathing in the smell of old books. As a college student, I often frequented Strozier late at night, enjoying the quiet opportunity to study, read, think, and develop my own beliefs and opinions as an adult. I hope as a librarian to contribute to the culture of independent thinking and the protection of information. I’m looking forward to growing as a student in this class and connecting with others in Information Science! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
