Bio
Having finished my MLIS at McGill, I am now working in my chosen field of archives. This makes a huge change, but I don't expect the posting on academic topics to go away any time soon.

I'm currently bi-local between Ottawa (week days) and Montreal (weekends), and expect to be in Toronto semi-permanently by the end of August. I love all three cities, and consider all of them my home.

I'm a fangirl for the history of science and technology. I love archival work, probably above and beyond professional requirements. I read a lot, and particularly enjoy sf. I drink more tea than I should.

Friending is generally welcome.

I'm frequently frustrated by the limit imposed on the "interests" field, so let it be known that I like just about everything.
