I started my training in the public sector at HNEE because an internship gave me the chance to get to know the profession of media and information services specialist and to discover it for myself. I quickly found that I enjoyed tackling the day-to-day tasks of a university library with a competent team and practising the careful and responsible handling of media and information. It is great fun to ensure order and structure so that library users have quick and easy access to the works they need. I was also able to learn more about sustainable development during my internship and am very fascinated by this focus within the library and how it is implemented within the library. HNEE is looking to the future and I want to be a part of it.
