Molly Tebo recently joined the Library as a Program Coordinator in our Research Services team. We spoke to her to learn more about her work experience and new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the Library! Can you tell us about your previous roles and work experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve had quite a diverse career. My first degree was in science. I majored in biology and computer science and did honours in molecular biology. After my studies I spent a few years working in a lab studying mutations in people with genetic heart disease, but it wasn\u2019t a great fit for me. I tried some other things and ended up working as a trainer for a few organisations and moved to WA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually I decided to complete a Master of Information Management here at Â鶹ֱ²¥. I worked as a casual Library Officer at Curtin while I was studying. Afterwards I was accepted into the graduate program at the State Library of WA and stayed on as their eLearning Librarian. While in that role I got to set up several learning management systems, work on some large heritage datasets and learn a great deal about the history of WA. That last part was surprisingly relevant during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
