- About Me
I have a strong educational background in the social sciences and the humanities and I hold a Master of Library Science degree. I currently work in the field of records management and retention and I worked for over 15 years in librarianship and I have volunteered in different capacities in public libraries. Besides having the hobby of genealogical research, I also continue to commit myself to research and scholarship through my writing and published works and I continue to volunteer through the Global Libraries in Literature Initiative (GLLI) of the American Library Association (ALA) by writing and submitting book reviews. I am also a member of the Modern Language Association (MLA).
