About Michelle

I am a librarian and freelancer currently living in Toronto, Ontario. I grew up in Brooklyn and miss it terribly sometimes. I’ve been in Canada since August, 2007, and I love it here. I’m very excited to explore outside the boundaries of the Greater Toronto Area.

I attended New York University, graduating with a BA in Art History. I received a Masters in Library and Information Science with an additional certificate in Archives in Records Management from Long Island University. I have also completed coursework in rare books at the University of Virginia and in paper preservation at the University of Rochester.

I’ve worked in a variety of positions at several esteemed institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the New York Public Library. Currently I am a freelancer for a travel website, where I do a few different jobs. My main tasks involve customer relations and internet research, but I have also had the opportunity to do some writing for the site.

In addition to my work experience, I have the experience I’ve gained working on my creative pursuits. I love photography, music, and movies, and enjoy teaching myself to use new technology and experiment with different software. I created this website to show off some of the projects that I’m particularly proud of and to keep track of works in progress.
