Newbies: Kathy Elliot
Posted on August 24, 2010 by kcarlson | 1 Comment
Greetings from Kathy Elliott! I’m a full-time student in my second semester in the online MLIS program at San Jose State University. This is my third career adventure. After earning an M.S. in biological sciences, I taught high school biology for two years and then worked for more than 20 years as a molecular biologist, primarily in biotech companies.
My current goal is to move into a service-oriented environment as a biomedical information specialist at an academic library or research institution. I was inspired to make this change by my sister, who is a medical librarian and loves her work. I’d like to use my expertise to connect medical professionals, students, and patients with the rapidly expanding field of genetic medicine.
I live in San Diego with one husband, three brittany spaniels, one snake, and four lizards. I’m an avid reader and also enjoy singing in my church choir, gardening, hiking, and visiting wilderness areas. I also have the honor to be the recipient of the 2010 MLA scholarship.

Welcome, Kathy! Glad to know I’m not the only snake owner in MLGSCA. Ours is a corn snake; what’s yours?
