Hello! I'm Emily, and I've just stepped in as AGLISS President. This is my second semester in the MSLIS program. I have a B.A. in Art History and spent many years teaching in elementary and early childhood classrooms. Most recently, I worked as a professional organizing consultant and volunteered on the board for the DC chapter of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals. I'm excited to now be gearing up for a career focused on organizing information! I strongly believe in volunteerism and giving back to my community, and I'm happy to be serving my academic and professional colleagues through AGLISS.

Outside of work and studies, I’m passionate about outdoor activities, especially hiking, biking, and kayaking. Growing up in Colorado nurtured my connection to nature, and after more than 20 years in the Washington, DC area, I’ve fallen in love with the Appalachian Mountains, Chesapeake Bay, and Atlantic Ocean. I’m also an avid reader of historical fiction, a fan of museums, and a dedicated DIYer.

Hello everyone! My name is Izzy Ruiz and I am the secretary for AGLISS this year. This is my second year in the MLIS program, and I am on the generalist track currently. Might or might not graduate in Spring of 2027, but that is the plan! I am originally from CA, and received my BA in History at Saint Mary's College of California. If you see me running around campus, that is because I also work for CUA in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. I love all things fandom related, and am an extrovert at heart so please say hi!

Hi, my name is Riley and I am the new newsletter editor for AGLISS. I'm in my first year of the dual MA in English and MS in Library and Information Science. I'm originally from the DMV, but spent some time in upstate New York, when I studied Literatures in English and Translation at Ithaca College. When I'm not working at the Writing Center or doing school work, I'm probably baking or reading!

My name is Stephanie Davis, but you can call me Stevie! I'm the AGLISS webmaster and this is my first semester in the Master of Science in Library & Information Science program. My concentration is Cultural Heritage Information Management and I am specifically interested in archives and special collections. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and so my family and I go whale watching every year – so far I’ve seen a few orcas and a pod of humpback whales!
