Ji Hae has worn many hats as a public librarian including readers' adviser, digital collections coordinator, and, now head of access services. While not a particularly talented cook, she loves to peruse cookbooks and food memoirs to tantalize her taste buds in anticipation of her next meal. She also has a personal interest in reading books that examine the American immigrant experience. Some of her favorite authors include Chang-rae Lee, Gish Jen, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Ruth Ozeki, Anthony Bourdain and Ruth Reichl.
