Tiffany Pagan

Director At-Large
Born and raised in South Florida, I’ve always had a genuine passion for the libraries that serve our region. My professional experience includes almost two decades working at the Boynton Beach City Library, where I started in high school and held progressively-experienced roles, working my way up to Assistant to the Library Director. I possess a master’s degree in accounting and am currently pursuing a master of science in Information degree at Florida State University. Libraries have fostered in me a deep appreciation for the power of knowledge and assisting others in their pursuit of information. In my leisure time, I find joy in indulging my creative side through crafting and exploring the wonders of the world through travel with my husband and daughter.
