Get to know Team Awesome!
Coming to you from the Team Awesome bunker, a profile of one of our amazing graduate assistants.
In the spotlight today: Matthew
- Where are you from and what’s your favorite part about it? I am from the northwest side of Chicago. I have too many things I love about Chicago to have a favorite, so today I’m just going to pick Wolfy’s Hot Dogs located at Peterson and California.
- What year in the program are you/what do you hope to do when you leave the iSchool? I am a first year, second semester student and I hope to become a public librarian in the Chicagoland area, focusing on either adult or teen services (though I would have no problem working with the kiddos either)!
- What is your favorite part about working at the Help Desk? The team! It is such a pleasure working with such a courteous, professional, and helpful cohort of Help Desk GAs and staff. It is by far the best work environment I have ever had the pleasure of being part of and it makes it very easy to get up in the morning and go to work.
- Favorite Meme:
- If you could live life as an animal, which animal would you choose? Whale – to be able to live in the ocean – chill life – swimming and eating
- What’s your (or would be) your go-to karaoke song? Journey – Don’t Stop Believing
- If there had to be an apocalypse which would you choose-alien invasion or zombie outbreak? Alien invasion – rather be killed by impersonal beings rather than someone you might know
- What was your most embarrassing teenage phase? Country/Hunting – flannel and camo – about 2 weeks
- Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck? Duck size horses – a large duck seems terrifying – and horses nice
