Additional Information
I am an experienced, talented, enthusiastic, and innovative librarian. I am passionate about the importance of data, information, and knowledge. They are among society’s greatest wealth, so cyber criminals are targeting these critical assets. I am ready to move from providing information to protecting information. Some of my previous work also required strong information technology skills, and I am adept at using computers, computer storage of documents, and process development for the lifecycle of electronic data. I am currently taking necessary cybersecurity and coding courses, and have completed several beneficial certificates.
