Megan Pridgen

I am about to graduate from Florida State University with my Master's of Information Science degree. I have been employed thought the library system as an Assistant for a year and a half and am ready to begin my career as a librarian.

I was tasked with many responsibilities at my current job including checking returns, organizing and running programs, and I am on a “Recipes and Reads” committee to help address healthy food habits for families.

I am team player and continuous learner who has always loved libraries.
