My name is Stephanie Porrata, a Metadata Librarian based in Columbus, Ohio. I graduated from Indiana University – Bloomington in 2019 with both my MLS and MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Post-graduation, I spent four years as the Mary P. Key Diversity Resident Librarian at Ohio State University, where I learned I really love doing Metadata work! As of August 2023, I am the Metadata Librarian at the University of Missouri – Kansas City.
Outside of work, I am teaching myself how to sew, knit, and crochet. I like to play Fortnite, reading books, and watching something interesting. One of my favorite rituals is making coffee with my partner. We often experiment with brew variables and love trying interesting beans. We are also befriending the local feral cats
The focus of this site was geared toward my professional work, but there is so much more to life than work. I want to use my site in whatever way I am inspired to at any given moment.
