Lana is a December 2006 GSLIS alum, now working as the Deputy Director & Outreach Librarian at the Perkins Braille and Talking Book Library in Watertown, MA.

"I graduated from GSLIS in December, 2006 and two weeks later began working at the Perkins Braille and Talking Book Library, which is the free public library for anyone in Massachusetts with a visual, physical, or reading disability. I am active in (too?) many LIS groups and am particularly focused on librarianship's contributions to / intersection with social justice, services to underserved populations, and recruiting and supporting librarians of color."
