A journey through academia, culture, and the pursuit of knowledge
My name is Matt, and I am currently pursuing my Master of Library and Information Science degree at Simmons University. My academic journey has taken me through diverse educational experiences that have shaped my perspective on information, culture, and the vital role libraries play in society.
My goal is to begin my career in librarianship at an academic institution, where I can contribute to the educational mission while supporting students and faculty in their research endeavors. I am particularly drawn to international librarianship and have been accepted to continue my education at Yonsei University for the Fall 2025 semester, where I will earn a second master's degree in Library and Information Science—bringing my dream of working in the Asian region, especially South Korea, one step closer to reality.
After falling in love with South Korea during my study abroad experience at Yonsei University in Seoul during the summer of 2024, I have been accepted to return for the Fall 2025 semester to pursue a second master's degree in Library and Information Science—a transformative opportunity that will deepen my cultural understanding and advance my passion for international academic collaboration.
When I'm not immersed in academic work, you'll find me exploring various forms of media and culture. I have a deep appreciation for storytelling in all its forms, from the written word to visual narratives.
The intention of this website is to create a home for myself on the internet—a place where I can share my academic journey, professional development, and personal reflections on the evolving world of library and information science. This space serves as both a portfolio of my work and a platform for connecting with fellow professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of information, technology, and culture.
Whether you're here to learn more about my academic projects, explore my thoughts on international librarianship, or simply connect with someone who shares your passion for libraries and learning, I hope you find something of value in this digital home I've created.
