During the months of March and April, read all about our fabulous and hard-working student employees and what they're working on at the library and beyond. This week meet Sam and Jessica who are interns in the Research, Education, and Clinical Information Services (RECIS) department.
Samantha Pellman is a student intern in the RECIS department. She is helping pilot a peer-mentoring project and has worked at the library since the beginning of the Spring 2022 semester. She is majoring in Population Health and has been on the Dean's List during her entire academic career. After graduating from UNM, Samantha plans to take a gap year and then attend grad school for a Master's in Public Health. Her favorite task at the library is creating promotional materials and flyers for library projects and events.
In her spare time, Samantha enjoys playing video games, drawing, and eating her favorite food, quesadillas. She is also a musician and plays both the guitar and piano. She has a thirteen-year-old cat named Kimmie who she's had since she was a child.
Jessica Maxwell is also an intern in the RECIS department and has worked on the peer-mentoring project since the beginning of the Spring 2022 semester. She is majoring in Population Health with a minor in Psychology, and her proudest academic achievement is completing her phlebotomy license this past summer. After graduating from UNM, Jessica plans to apply to the Physician's Assistant master's program and also apply for MHA programs. While working at the library she enjoys reading academic articles on a variety of topics.
In her free time, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family and friends, painting, and going to the gym. She also likes to cook, and one of her specialties is baked salmon with goat cheese and raspberry glaze on top. She has a dog name Snickers: a mini-schnauzer with a whole lot of attitude who loves to play outside and eat her favorite snack, apples.
Welcome Samantha and Jessica and thank you for all your fantastic contributions to the library!
