Hi! I'm here to help you find information for your class assignments, for your job search, for any reason. We all need quality information to make decisions, so let me help you find the best data for all your class assignments and decision making. I am a queer non-binary white person. After getting my master's degree in library science I worked at a number of startups and established companies.I am working towards a more comprehensive view of our information landscape, including the bias, racism, and classism that is part of that landscape.
