Hello everyone!
It is a pleasure to e-meet you all. My name is Rahab Lawshea, but you can call me Rae. I was born and raised in Texas and currently live in San Antonio, TX. I am in my third semester of the MLIS program here at SJSU and have already learned so much. I work in a public library here in San Antonio as a library aide, but before that, I worked in a normal “9-5” corporate job. During that time, I realized I needed to make a change to something I was more passionate about. After volunteering at the library, I knew that this was the switch I needed to make, and I haven’t looked back since.
As a library aide, I get to see various programs from start to finish and help librarians implement them. I enjoy serving my community and look forward to the insights and skills this class will give me in providing the information my community needs. I am currently leaning more toward children’s librarianship, but I am open to learning more about the opportunities this degree will offer. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, do yoga, garden, decorate my house, and read a good book.
Here is a picture of me in Bali!
If you read until the end, thank you for reading my post! I can’t wait to learn more about you all during this semester.
Talk soon,
Rae
