Alexandra Pirkle (AP): As a way of introducing yourself in this current environment, what piece of media (book/movie/TV show/album/etc.) would you say best represents yourself? Why?

Matthew Duncan (MD): Galaxy Quest. I like science fiction and fantasy plus I enjoy movies that don't take themselves to seriously. Galaxy Quest pays homage to Star Trek while having fun at the same time.

AP: What two words best describe your personal aesthetic (e.g. cozy, eclectic, whimsical, vintage, etc.)?

MD: Adaptable and Concise.

AP: What makes you most excited to work for UTA Libraries?

MD: Working in a new environment providing dynamic learning environments for students.

AP: What is something about you that others would be surprised to know?

MD: I have been hit by a car. Specifically, a doctor in a Volkswagen Bug. Kind of funny.

Thank you, Matthew! We are excited to have you on board (and that you are okay following that car accident!).
