Mildner, Samara
Samara MildnerSr. Administrative Assistant Technical Services |
I began my role as a Sr. Administrative Assistant, Library Technical Services in 03-16-2018 as a casual employee, and later both applied and secured the role as a permanent employee 04-23-2018. Prior to Yale, I spent all of my career in the Corporate sector; I can honestly say that I enjoy both equally. I managed to come up to speed pretty quickly on Yale's processes, procedures, and policies as they concern Library TS, and I'm interested in broadening my knowledge-base within other divisions/departments.
I hold a BA in French and a Masters in Education.
