Hello!

Posted October 5, 2022 by Lindsey Clarke

We have a new blogger! Please welcome — Claire!

A little bit about Claire:

A Texan by birth, Puerto Rican by blood, and reader by nature, Claire is a former (and current) editor-turned-aspiring librarian.

This is her first year at Simmons, where she is pursuing a concentration in cultural heritage with the goal of working in a museum archive or special collections. 

Claire spent her undergraduate years at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where she graduated
with a BA in English and a much-too-long thesis on feminism and the postcolonial flower
garden. She’s tried on her fair share of professional hats, from events coordinator and romantic
advice columnist to graphic designer and Spanish Fulbright scholar, but she’s finally found her
niche at SLIS. 

Claire has lived in Scotland, Haiti, Spain, and most recently Washington, DC, and she’s thrilled
to call Boston home for the next chapter of her life. When she’s not focused on her SLIS courses,
Claire works as an assistant editor in the curatorial department of the Peabody Essex
Museum—beyond that, she loves to dance, knit, brush up on her Spanish, and, most importantly,
read anything she can get her hands on.
