Hello! My name is Ciara Troitino and I am the Media and Student Services Associate.
I am a J.P. Knapp Alumni!
After graduating from Knapp in 2016 and from College of the Albemarle with an Associate's in Science, I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in History, as well as from Old Dominion University with a Master's of Arts in History. At these schools, I found that history and books in general are my passions and I love being in libraries and interacting with students. My favorite period of history is the Atlantic World from the 18th to 19th century, but I can talk just about anything related to history! Being a lover of history, I am an avid reader and my tastes vary far and wide. My own personal collection of books sits at about 300 volumes deep and I am always looking to pick up new titles to expand it.
I currently sponsor the J.P. Knapp's Book Club.
Besides history and books, I am an enthusiastic hockey fan, with my favorite team being the Carolina Hurricanes! When I have free time, I try to either go to hockey games, spend time outdoors with family and friends, build Lego sets, or watch TV shows like The Office, The Witcher, The Last Kingdom, and Avatar.
