Himmelfarb Library Welcomes New Staff

Kristen Austin

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in psychology in 2002. Since then I worked for several years at Harcourt publishing company before I came to Washington, DC to pursue a graduate degree. I am currently enrolled in the Doctor of Psychology program here at George Washington University. I am also a photographer and have two cats. Stop by and welcome Kristen to Himmelfarb.

On March 1, 2005 Liz joined the Technology and Curricular Services Department as the Web Services Coordinator. She has worked most recently as a Web Developer at the Government Accountability Office in Washington, D.C. and as the Systems Librarian at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Library in Research Triangle Park, NC. Liz earned her MIS from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Liz hopes to complete her first triathlon this summer and her second Marine Corp Marathon this fall. Please stop by and welcome Liz!

Kathy Lyons

I was born and raised in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and graduated from the University of Maryland. I have worked in academic libraries for twelve years, most recently at the Georgetown University Medical Library. Someday I would like to get my graduate degree in library science.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy reading, biking, watching movies and golfing. I also enjoy spending as much time as possible at the beach.
