I earned my Masters of Library Science from the Catholic University of America. I have worked at the National Library of Medicine and the NIH staff library. From 2013-2023, I was informationist for Eating Recovery Center. I am currently secretary of the Eating Disorders Coalition and vice-president of the DC Metro iaedp chapter, and previously served as director of Online and Social Media for the Academy for Eating Disorders. I enjoy taking hiking vacations in the United Kingdom and this latest summer hiked Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, as a fundraiser for the National Alliance for Eating Disorders. I live in Maryland with my two cats and a large pile of cross-stitch projects.
I can be contacted at mplotkin73@gmail.com for my resume or suggestions for job leads.
