Lifelong Learning I Quality of Life
You can find answers at the library.
Libraries have played a crucial role in shaping my life by providing access to knowledge and resources that have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. From an early age, libraries have been a sanctuary of learning, exploration, and imagination. My mother, who died of lung cancer is 2021, introduced the Bull Street Library and storytime to my sisters and I at a young age. Since then libraries have opened doors to a world of literature, science, and technology, fostering my curiosity and expanding my understanding of the world. Through the resources and opportunities that libraries provide, I've been able to deepen my understanding of various subjects and discover my passion for promoting education, particularly in the fields of STEM.

I was inspired to volunteer and serve on the library board because I firmly believe in the transformative power of education and the crucial role that libraries play in shaping the lives of individuals and communities. As a strong advocate for promoting STEM education, I am passionate about creating equal opportunities for young women, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, to pursue STEM-related careers. I'd like to say that I believe that libraries led me to create Operation Changing the World One STEM at a Time Inc. In these spaces I witnessed the positive impact of mentorship and support in empowering young women to explore and excel in STEM fields. Joining the library board allows me to extend this impact by contributing my knowledge and experiences to further enhance library programs and services. It's a way for me to give back to the community and play an active role in shaping the future of education and opportunity for generations to come.

Libraries are essential pillars of society, serving as hubs of knowledge, information, and community engagement. They promote literacy, foster a love for learning, and offer opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. Libraries are dynamic centers that embrace technology, research, and innovation, providing access to a wealth of resources. They create a sense of belonging, offering a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to connect, participate in events, workshops, and cultural programs, fostering lifelong learning. As a member of the library board and Founder of "Operation Changing the World One STEM at a Time Inc.," I am dedicated to ensuring young women have access to the resources they need to become the STEM leaders of tomorrow. #oneSTEMatatime.
