Katy is a second year KMIM student and pursuing a thesis
She currently works as the Digital Preservation TALint student at Robarts (UTL-ITS), and as the Archives Digitization Assistant at George Brown College (GBC). She is becoming very overwhelmed by all of the acronyms in her life.
When she is not in class, Katy can be found scavenging the campus for caffeine, accidentally having full conversations with herself, and dancing a little too hard to the music in her headphones. If you see her around, feel free to approach her with comments and concerns, or just to have a chat. She’s eager to serve as President!
