My name is Tyvonnia Braxton. I am originally from the state of Maryland. I’m new to Newark and Essex County, New Jersey. I currently work for Newark Public Library. I received my Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from St. John’s University in Queens, NY, and my Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Technology from the University of Maryland Global Campus. Outside of work, I enjoy reading a cozy mystery or psychological thriller, traveling, and spending time with my family, volunteering in my community, and participating in pageants.
