About me

Gender Female
Industry Student
Occupation Processing Assistant in a public library
Location Chicagoland, Illinois, United States
Introduction I am a part time student studying for my MLIS (Master's in Library Science) and working part time at a public library. Someday I would love to be a young adult librarian. When I am not working or studying, I am practicing martial arts. I earned my blackbelt in 2006 and now I am just enjoying practicing without being tested! Other than that I am constantly reading books and listening to music. I love finding new books and artists. I also love history, especially art history. I have an undergrad degree in art history and I could spend large amounts of time fixated on a single work of art. I am quite good at being fixated on things. I get into grooves where I am obsessed with a genre (of literature or music or art), so if I get repetative... I am just obsessing. I am also the proud owner of an English Bulldog named Frank. He's the quirkiest dog I have ever known!
