Tell us your Smith College Libraries Story.

Neilson has and will always be my favorite place at Smith. Even before arriving as a new student, I applied to work here because I wanted to be part of a space that fosters learning, creativity, and community. Since my first year, I’ve worked in Neilson every single week, helping students, faculty, and locals access the resources they need. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences to be part of the Smith Libraries team and I will always remember the countless hours I spent in Neilson!

Outside of the Libraries, what are your interests and hobbies?

Most of my free time is spent in photography, arts & crafts, and playing Assassin's Creed!    

If you could impart one piece of advice to incoming first year students, what would it be?

Use every single resource the libraries and Smith offer you. The staff here is so well-trained to help you find anything you need and they always go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported.
