Austin
Departamento: Centro para pequeñas empresas
Austin es bibliotecario de servicios empresariales. Su amor de toda la vida por las bibliotecas y su trabajo como voluntario en ellas le inspiraron a dedicarse a la biblioteconomía como carrera profesional para servir a las personas y satisfacer sus necesidades de información. Originario de Fayetteville, Carolina del Norte, a Austin le encanta ver cómo los emprendedores y las pequeñas empresas influyen positivamente en las comunidades locales y en el estado de Carolina del Norte en general. Fuera de la biblioteca, le pueden encontrar leyendo, jugando a videojuegos, viendo fútbol y dando paseos al aire libre.
