About me
Megan Burdi is the National Librarian for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the National Conservation Training Center. She has a passion for making information more accessible and discoverable through digital stewardship and research services. In her role, she finds innovative ways to bring library services to Service employees across all programs and regions. She serves on the Executive Digital Advisory Board, the Data Science Committee, and NCTC's Allies for Change and DEIA Committee.
Prior to joining the Service in 2019, she worked at the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art, where she served as the Digital Initiatives Archivist. She holds a Master of Science in Library and Information Science from Simmons University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from West Virginia University.
Megan was born in Maine but raised in the Eastern panhandle of West Virginia and has lived in the state for most of her life. She is proud to be a second-generation librarian. While she started her career in the arts, she’s so happy to have made her way into conservation and has always had a passion for the natural world. She enjoys running, cooking, gardening, canning vegetables, reading for pleasure (not work), camping, and watching horror movies. Megan is the mom of four-year-old twins with whom she and her husband Brian love to spend time with camping, hiking, and observing nature.
