Heidi Ben-Aviel

I am a dedicated and resourceful professional with a diverse background and a passion for community engagement and literacy. With a strong foundation in library services, I have demonstrated my commitment to promoting reading and learning through my roles as a Library Assistant Volunteer at Bolling Hall Museum and Library and a Librarian Assistant at Bermuda National Libraries. My ability to foster a love for reading among young patrons and my innovative ideas, such as the proposal for a seed library, showcase my initiative and creativity.

My educational journey includes a PGDip in Library and Information Management from The Manchester Metropolitan University, underscoring her commitment to professional growth. I am continually expanding my skill set, evident through my recent achievement of the NCFE Level 3 Award in Education & Training from Shipley College.

My well-rounded background extends beyond libraries, with experience as a compassionate caregiver for an elderly family member and a dedicated Progress Coach at Bradford College. My recent pursuit of horticulture courses at Shipley College highlights my commitment to enhancing community engagement and literacy through innovative initiatives like the seed library project at Bolling Hall Museum and Library.

With excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong organizational abilities, and a demonstrated proficiency in library management systems, I am  well-equipped to contribute positively to any team. My passion for learning and my dedication to promoting literacy make her a valuable asset in any professional setting.
