I am a persistent, dedicated researcher and am willing to take the time to find the best possible resources for a project or a patron. I'm passionate about inclusivity because I believe that diverse perspectives are always an asset--and my neurodivergence means I know what it's like to feel that I don't belong. I believe in over-communication so that everyone has all the information they need to be successful. I have a very strong commitment to professional ethics, and I want to do my best in my role and contribute to the team in a meaningful way. Sometimes I see creative ways to do things that are easier or more efficient compared to the way they've always been done.
