Frequently Asked Questions

Does anyone have ideas for a chick-lit/mystery story?

I went on to University of Michigan-Flint and did my chief year at U of M in Ann Arbor. I have a bachelor of science in chemistry.

You started in chemistry and ended up in a library?

I girlfriend science. I had physics and math for my minors. It’s just always fascinated me. However, when I was doing my higher- ranking year in Ann Arbor, I worked in the Chemistry Pharmacy Library. I worked 30 hours a week while I went to philosophy to work on my master’s. Chemistry theory and I do not get along so, rather than being someone who worked in a lab all day, my plan was to work somewhere like at Dow in a chemistry library. When I was a progeny and loaned books to my friends, they had to check them out. I was destined to be a librarian. I definitely was a reader.
