Background

About Sarah Lindenbaum

Research, rhetoric, information management—these are just a few of the skills I've brought to my past roles, and they happen to be some of my favorite things. I love hunting down facts, telling stories, and organizing data. In the most recent past, I was a senior paralegal and case manager for a personal injury firm, where I conducted legal research, wrote demand letters for the lead attorney, established best practices and workflows, juggled some 170 active cases, and got to know and love clients from all walks of life. Prior to that, I worked as a professor and outreach librarian for a small liberal arts university. I’ve genuinely loved each of the jobs you’ll see in my work history, although I confess to a slight preference for rare-book cataloging.(You’d have a bias for a job in which you spent eight hours in the company of book nerds and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century volumes, too.) Now I’m looking for a job that will harness my talents and allow me to grow. As an employee, I am versatile, quick-witted, fast to learn, self-motivated, easygoing, and highly detail-oriented. Outside of the professional sphere, you’ll find me writing poems and short stories, hunting down books from the library of early female book collector Frances Wolfreston (1607–77), getting dirt under my fingernails in my native garden, enjoying the company of my three African barkless dogs, managing small-time political campaigns, serving as chair of my local historic preservation commission, hoarding books, and pottering around my obscenely large 1895 Queen Anne home.
