Share this post:

Today’s interview is with Sara Hoover who works remotely as a volunteer metadata technician with the Digital Resources Division.

Describe your background.

I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, but grew up in Blacksburg, Virginia. Blacksburg is home to Virginia Tech and growing up in a college town gave me an early appreciation for higher education. Consequently, I have spent most of my adult life living in college towns and working in university systems. In recent years, I have lived in England, Japan, San Francisco, Charlottesville, Baltimore, New Haven and Seattle. In 2015 I moved to Bethesda, Maryland, with my husband and our young daughter.

What is your academic/professional history?
