My name is Andrea Spargo and I am a graduate student enrolled in the Master of Library and Information Science program at the University of Rhode Island. I plan to graduate in May 2020. Currently, I work full-time as an institutional researcher. I have a B.A. in Sociology and a M.A. in Educational Research and have spent most of my career working in higher education. I hope to leverage my skills as a data and research analyst with my MLIS and work in an academic library. In my spare time, you can find me driving my 13-year old son to his various activities, working in the yard or reading the latest mystery novel.
