Ren Hartwell

Hi there! I’m Ren. I am, first and foremost, a perpetual student. The world will never run out of things to learn, and I know I’ll never learn everything, but it’s fun trying. I got started in indexing because I thrive on organizing information, and making serendipitous connections between different ideas makes me truly happy.

I’m a librarian by trade, and I also hold undergraduate degrees in English, history, and intermediate/secondary education, as well as a certificate in criminology. My hobbies include music composition/performance, making chainmaille, and studying Japanese language and culture. Lastly, I am deeply passionate about snails…which, I admit, is a little strange and probably irrelevant. Nevertheless, my diverse interests and extensive education are part of the experiences I draw on to properly and effectively index a wide range of projects. I have a real passion for making information accessible, and I can’t wait to put my skills to work creating the ideal index for your work.
