On Tuesday, the first person I met was Regina, who is the Medical Library director and deals with Library public relations. It was a really interesting meeting. First she started off with asking about me and my aims. Then she told me a little about her background. She was a history major, and she like to read about American Civil War. In school, her favorite subject was history. She graduated from high school and went to work with a phone company. She got her masters from Southern Connecticut State University. Important things about her in her job is being a good listener and recognizing people. She likes to see her staff happy and feel a satisfaction in what they do. Kenny mentioned to me that liking to work with people, listening to others, being a team player, having good communication skills including having good technical skills are important traits that one needs in her job. At one point she said to me she likes to take chances in trying new things because it might be helpful to others, and if it don't work out well it doesn't matter because it is not like opening people's brain. First I thought it was funny, but it did made sense, and I also think its not bad to try new things and keeping your options open. I had a memorable meeting with Regina Marone.
