Good morning, colleagues.
I am pleased to share the news that Lilian Uzokwe has been hired as the new Administrative Assistant in the Administration and Data Unit of the Bureau of Library Development (BLD).
Lilian is an administrative assistant with five years of experience in the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s School Services office. Lilian is a PA native with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Penn State University. In her free time, she enjoys learning languages, cooking, watching mystery movies and road tripping across PA. She’s been a lifelong lover of libraries and is excited to join the Bureau of Library Development.
BLD is delighted for Lilian to start this new chapter as the Administrative Assistant for federal and mixed-funded programs.
