Hello Region 7! My name is Catherine D’Angelo, but my friends call me Cate and I am the new Program Coordinator with R7. It’s a delight to join the Network of the National Library of Medicine and discover the ways in which my background in the arts and yoga therapies intersect with medicine and libraries.
This summer I completed a Grant writing internship with Global Development Systems which opened my eyes to the world in new and fantastic ways. I’m excited to use the skills I built there, to connect with our many wonderful partners here at NNLM. Additionally, I completed my 500-hr Yoga Teacher Training with the Kripalu Institute in Western MA, last September. I enjoy engaging with the mind and body to foster a holistic approach to mental and physical wellness. Currently I teach in my local community and it’s a highlight of my week! I also hold a BFA in Acting from York University in Toronto and love using my background in the arts to connect with people across diverse communities and will be focusing on increasing multi-cultural and multi-lingual content across R7. I will also be collaborating with the team on processing this year’s Technology Awards! Something else I am most looking forward to is meeting and connecting with members and new folks alike, face to face, while exhibiting for NNLM!
I’ll also be serving as your main membership liaison, so you’ll be hearing from me more often!
