Aleah
Hi! I’m Aleah, and I’m a graduate student studying Library and Information Science at the iSchool! I completed my undergrad at the University of Miami in Florida, where I studied Music and minored in Finance and Music Business. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and I’m super excited to be back studying in my home state! In my free time, I love playing musical instruments (ask me about the harp!), reading, and doing deep dives into topics I’m passionate about. I’m really looking forward to walking you through the research process and being a resource for any questions you may have. Feel free to say hi and I look forward to working with you 🙂

Hi, I’m Ray, a Library & Information Science graduate student. I graduated from UIUC in 2025 with a bachelors’ in History and Creative Writing. I specialize in new media — namely, comics, games, and social media — but I’m happy to take on any research challenge you have!
Seneca (she/her)
Hi, I’m Seneca! I’m a current Master’s student here at the School of Information Sciences. I graduated from Vassar College a few years ago where I majored in Political Science and French. I remember being assigned my first research assignment for a history class freshman year and having a one on one research consultation with a librarian. She helped me develop a search strategy and use a database. Without her help, I don’t know how I would’ve found any good scholarly sources! So speaking from my own experience, booking a research consultation is a great idea. And some things I enjoy outside of work and school: being outside, yoga, contra dancing, and traveling.
