Bio

Sabine is a librarian and writer specializing in empathy-based library marketing and communications. She is an outreach and reference librarian at Florida International University Libraries who takes immense pride in her Haitian-American heritage. Her area of expertise and interest lies in empathy-based marketing and communications in libraries, which has led her to write a book on the topic. The book, which the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) is planning to publish, looks at how libraries can use empathic design to develop inclusive and equitable marketing strategies. Sabine is currently pursuing her doctoral degree in instructional technology and distance education. She is researching enhancing communication between librarians and first-generation college students in online, hybrid, and in-person learning settings. As a first-generation college student who has faced challenges in her educational journey, she is committed to supporting students in achieving academic success in her work. Sabine shares her thoughts on empathy, books, librarianship, and her doctoral journey on empathiclibrarian.com.
