Hi! I’m Amanda Jenkins, the librarian for the UAB School of Optometry. I began working at UAB's Lister Hill Library in October 2022 as the Liaison for the School of Nursing. Most of my professional experience has been in the public library realm, so the world of health sciences is still new to me. I’m looking forward to learning about the School of Optometry and how to best serve them. I’m from Birmingham (I attended UAB for my undergraduate degree, then UA for my Master of Library and Information Studies), and I live near Birmingham with my two sons, ages 8 and 15.
