# Cathleen Keyser

  Senior Data Strategist

Cathleen works with her team members on assessing and redefining our reading-focused taxonomies to create clear and useful access points that help librarians and readers find those just-right books.

Cathleen’s first RA job was working at a video store (she \*loves\* horror movies). Her favorite book as a kid was *Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark* by Alvin Schwartz. Today you’re most likely to find her reading stories with the theme **vengeance is mine**. Other favorite free-time activities include watching bad movies from the 70s and 80s, going to taco trucks, and vintage shopping (70s, ya dig?).
