PROFILE

Current residence: Salt Lake City, UT, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I wanted to learn more about archives and pursue an archival career. I have a great love for education and the pursuit of knowledge.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My husband. He was always cheering for me and proofreading my work. My parents have also always been encouraging and supportive.

While in the program, I met classmates from:

Everywhere!! I was always amazed about the different people and their unique experiences that they brought to the program.

What I liked best about online learning was:

Online learning is flexible and easier for me to work with other people.

What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:

I loved the class choices. There were so many I wanted to take but I didn't get to all of them.

I plan to use my degree to:

become an archivist

Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:

More free time and independent study. I'm going to be doing a lot of reading and writing (well even more so than I already do).
