bio

My name is Abbie Thacher and I am earning my Master degree in library and information science at the University of Washington in Seattle. As my capstone project, I am working with librarians and staff at UW to make research tools and library instruction more accessible to neurodivergent students. I am an Open Science and Scholarly Communication Intern at Arizona State University. I decided to get my MLIS because I love research and I think there is a lot of interesting research being done, but finding it and reading it is so hard especially outside of a university setting.

Outside of academic librarianship, I love reading and writing poetry, going to museums, and listening to pop music!
