In your own words

I see academic libraries as spaces that foster a culture of inquiry and lifelong learning. They are environments where curiosity is celebrated, innovative ideas are embraced and interdisciplinary connections are encouraged. Working at the University of Pittsburgh's Hillman Library fuels my appetite for knowledge as well as my passion for sharing this knowledge with others.
