Professional Goal(s): Empower people with information, expand horizons, build relationships, and change the world.
Paige Fujisue holds the record for being the slowest eater. Now equipped with braces, Paige is convinced that she'll hold onto her title. In addition to this distinction, she recently attended the 72nd World Library and Information Congress in Seoul, Korea. This afforded her an unparalleled glimpse into the global pulse of library and information science — furthering her awareness and understanding of the roles culture and privilege play in the information society.
When she isn't working at an elementary school library or going to school in a virtual environment, she enjoys walking, hiking, wild open spaces, and blowing raspberries on her nephews' bellies.
