Employment and Professional Activities
Association Affiliation
I have been a member of CLA since 2007. I was previously a member of the CACUL (Canadian Association of College and University Libraries) Division, since I started my MLIS believing that I wanted to work in an Academic Library. Since that time, my horizons have broadened, and upon renewal of my membership this November, I switched divisions to CAPL (Canadian Association of Public Libraries). More information about CLA can be found at www.cla.ca.
I am also a member of the Manitoba Library Association. More information about MLA can be found at www.mla.mb.ca.
Student Societies
During my time as a student, both at the University of Winnipeg and McGill University, I have become very involved in student life. My activities in these domains have been described on the UWJazz and the MLISSA pages of this web site.
Employment History
Like many pre-teen girls, my first job, at age 11, was as a babysitter. Before the age of 16, I also had a flyer route and did yard work to make money. I started my first official job three days after I turned 16. True, it did only last 11 days, but I made more in those 11 days than I had ever made in one paycheque before, and I was hooked.
On the following page, there is a list of my employment experience of the last ten years. It is as complete as I can make it from memory. I may have forgotten some jobs. Hopefully, if that is the case, they are ones that were of shorter duration. once I have access to the files where this information has been kept, I will be updating this page.
