ACADEMIC YEAR STUDENTS WORKERS (2024-25)
Kiara Fitzpatrick ‘25, Lead Student Worker and Publications Assistant, is from Kirkland, Washington and studies French and Philosophy. This is Kiara’s third year working at the Hong Kierkegaard Library and she is thrilled to be working in an environment so devoted to the study of existentialism, of which her interest was first piqued by Simone de Beauvoir. When not consumed by her course load, Kiara can be found reading in a yellow adirondack chair on the quad, or scouring Northfield for the best coffee.
Grace Heinz ‘25, Library Assistant, is a French and Philosophy major from Stillwater, Minnesota. This is her second year at the HKL, after her interest in existentialism was piqued following her study of Kierkegaard on the J-term in Copenhagen. Since high school Grace has been interested in philosophy—particularly ethics— but this job serves as her introduction to existentialism. Outside of the library, Grace enjoys long runs and watching rom-coms.
Liz Mills ‘25, Archival Assistant, from Kennebunkport, Maine is studying Philosophy and Classics. Liz is starting her second year at the HKL, but her journey in philosophy started in high school when she began reading the works of Sartre and Camus. As Liz began reading her way through the existentialists, she found that it was Kierkegaard who captured her interest. Outside the world of philosophy, Liz enjoys jaunting around the Natural Lands and attempting to learn Ancient Greek.
Chloe Revier ‘25, Media Assistant, is from Finlayson, Minnesota, and studying English and Film and Media Studies. In her first year working for the Kierkegaard Library, she is working alongside fellow staff and faculty to create educational videos and promotional materials to spread awareness of different aspects of the library, specifically the Rare Book Collection. In her free time, you can find Chloe watching movies or trying to pet all of the dogs she can find while walking in town.
Ella Nielsen ’27, Generalist, is an English major from Shakopee, Minnesota. This is her first year working with the HKL. Ella is fascinated by Literature and Library Science. When not studying, you can find her devouring romance novels, drinking too much coffee, and going to concerts.
