I have worked as a professional librarian for over nine years, serving in academic and public libraries. Being a librarian requires a great deal of interaction with people, as they approach you with many different types of questions.

One of my strengths is being able to communicate on an one-to-one basis. I also have a lot of teaching experience as a librarian, as we often deliver classes and talks to large groups, including with children.

My teaching experience also includes working for one year in a private high school, where I taught history. I also lectured at academic conferences about medieval history, having given papers in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. This has been an invaluable help in improving my public speaking abilities.
