How long have you worked at the Business/SPEA Library? I’ve worked at the library for 3 years. I started in the Spring of 2021.
What is your position? Senior Public Services Assistant
What did you enjoy about working at our library? My favorite part of working at SPEA library all these years is that it is an incredibly supportive environment. Our bosses genuinely care for us as employees, as students, and as young adults figuring out how to exist in the world. It is a place filled with understanding and support, and there's always resources available to you, or at least people who are happy to help you find your starting point. I have enjoyed working with SPEA and its staff so much that I am considering working with public libraries when I move in the future!
Do you have a favorite library, IU or Bloomington memory? College has been a wild roller coaster of experiences and emotions. I don't have one, specific event I can point to as being my "favorite memory" because I have so many memories I cherish. I have found the love of my life, made lifelong friendships, and discovered my passions while being surrounded by likeminded people, driven to build a life for themselves. It was hard, it was messy, it was beautiful, it was profound, it was the start of the rest of my life! I think IU was a lovely place to spread my wings and become the person I always wanted to be.
What’s your degree & major? I have two degrees and two majors, one BA in Theatre and Drama, and a BA in Art History. My theatre degree is focused on backstage technical direction and theatrical equipment. My Art History degree is a broad spectrum.
What are your plans after leaving IU? After leaving IU, I plan to move to Michigan and pursue a career in either museum management or theatre management.
Thank you, Caitie for being a part of the Business/SPEA Library team. Congratulations & Best Wishes in the future!
