Leia's bio follows:
"My name is Leia Dickerson and I am a first-year MLS student and graduate assistant in the College of Information Studies. I grew up in Northeastern Ohio but have lived in Maryland since graduating from Wellesley College in 2006. I am interested in pursuing a career in librarianship as it relates to social sciences or the arts. When I am not studying or working, I enjoy visiting art galleries, watching movies, reading novels, and exploring Baltimore and Washington, D.C. I look forward to meeting SLA members at the conference, especially those from the Maryland chapter. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with all of you."
Congratulations, Leia! I look forward to meeting you in June. SLA has always supported my professional development since my very days as an MLS student (not that long ago)
