I\u2019m Amanda, and I work part time at the Southeast campus. I have been a community college librarian since 2007 and at PCC since 2015. I feel very fortunate to work with the PCC community. I grew up in a teeny town in northeastern Oregon and studied in Portland, Boston, and southern California before happily settling back in Portland with my family.<\/p>\n<p>When I work with students, my focus is inspiring curiosity and creativity with the ways that they find and use information. I take a critical eye to the tools that we use to find information and try to make sure we understand what they can do, and where they fall short. I see research as a shared and active practice where I am learning right along with you.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, I\u2019m usually making something with my hands. I like to sew, knit, cook, dye, and dabble in all kinds of other creative pursuits. I also love making pie and swimming in (well, at least jumping into) cold lakes and rivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
