KFS: My own little world

Library of Congress: Library Services/Preservation Directorate/Binding and Collections Care Division/Library Binding Section

My goal realized, I began my career as a Civil Servant on December 11, 2006 as Library Technician at the Library of Congress. I process books for binding, pack shipments for transport to the binder, quality check bound works and label hardcover works. On a two-year appointment, it has opened the door to the Federal Government for me.

The Phillips Collection

My love of museums has drawn me to the Phillips where I work weekends as a Museum Assistant guarding the various artworks of America's first museum of modern art.

Justice Department: Civil Division

From July 1, 2004 to November 30, 2006 I worked as a Records staffer under Diversified Technology and Services of Virginia. Starting as Substitute Records Technician at the Record Management Unit (RMU) in Merrifield, Va. on an as-needed basis. After two months I was promoted to a temporary Records Tech on full-time schedule at the P2 and P4 Active Records Units on Pennsylvania Avenue downtown. As of August 22, 2005, I returned to the RMU as a Records Clerk in a permanent position on the files team. In the course of my daily duties, I reshelved files, filed loose documents and maintained folders. This position was part-time until I found a full-time position in the D.C. area.

Heritage Reservation, BSA

For six years I served on the summer camp staff for Greater Pittsburgh Council, BSA. I started in 1996 as a Counselor-In-Training at Camp Independence, the Cub Scout camp at Heritage Reservation. I returned in 1997 as a Campcraft Instructor teaching basic camping skills. I took on the large responsibility of managing the camp Trading Post in 1999 and 2001. In 2002, I served as the director of all reservation trading posts. For more information on my time as a Boy Scout, click here.
