Background
George has a BA in English Literature and History from the University of Sheffield and worked in public libraries in Rochdale before moving to Oxford. In 2017, she joined the Bodleian Libraries Graduate Trainee scheme which helped her decide that academic libraries were the place for her. During her time at the Bodleian, she completed a PG Dip in Library and Information Services Management with the University of Sheffield via distance learning. Before starting at Magdalen in June 2023, she has previously worked at the Old Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Cairns Library in the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
