Me, briefly.

Me, briefly.
- I'm a Toronto-based Information Professional. I currently work as a Digital Asset Specialist, meaning I get to apply my librarian skills to a mass of unstructured digital content - mostly photos, some video, design files, etc.
  
  I firmly believe there is nothing in life that can't be improved by the consumption of baked goods.
