Summary

Certified School Librarian dedicated to meeting student needs. I have 16 months of experience as a National Service Personnel, plus an additional four months extended by the institution for a special project. For the past two years, I have been the librarian at Dodi International School, where I have gained extensive knowledge of the AccessIT Library Software. My professional goal is to ensure the preservation and security of information, both physical and digital, to facilitate easy access within an organization. I strive to help people make sense of the information they seek.
