INGRID RICHTER


Glinda by John R. Neil



I was born in Washington D.C., grew up in Spokane, Washington and attended Cornell University as a math major.

In Ithaca, I worked at the Mathematics and Engineering Libraries, ran Risley Theatre for four seasons, half-heartedly advised residents at Risley Residential College, and enjoyed an exclusive undergrad astronomy course taught by Carl Sagan my sophomore year. I also worked at Housing Solutions as the database administrator, Collegetown Video, where I made it my sworn goal to show as many unwatchable movies as possible, and Comics for Collectors, which really wasn't as much fun as you'd think.

Post-college, I moved to Los Angeles and worked at the USC Math Department for a couple of years. I moved to Seattle in 1996 and worked at the now-defunct Foreign Relations as the sys admin/webmaster for another two years. In 1998, I moved to New York City and started working at the New York Society Library as the computer specialist/webmaster. In 2002, I was promoted to Head of Systems at the library. My mother died at the end of 2008, which devastated both me and my family.

I currently live and work in New York City.
