What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
I'm still new here. Right now, I'm really enjoying learning about the library and the state itself.
It's not just about the books; the library represents the state of North Carolina. I'm learning about this new place where I'm living, its history, and how to help others learn about it too. I really enjoy that.
I feel like I've lived mostly in Florida, and before that, in another country, and in various other places at different times. But I'm really embracing this as my new state, where I'm going to be. Learning about it is fun.
I also love my coworkers. There are some really great and smart people that I work with.
