PROFILE

Current residence: Sebastopol, CA, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

my goal is to become a librarian and I want to gain not only the necessary education, but also the knowledge and experience that will help me excel in my career.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

my partner, Rick; my parents, Kat & Will; my grandparents, Bob & Jo; my friend, Joanna; and my coworkers at the library.

While in the program, I met classmates from:

California, Arizona, Philadelphia, Nevada, and Colorado.

What I liked best about online learning was:

being able to do the program on my own time around my work schedule. Also, not having to drive to San Jose.

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

learning from professors all over the United States and Canada who bring a wealth of experience and information to their classes.

I plan to use my degree to:

become a librarian in either a public library or special collections.

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

finding a full-time librarian position and having time to read for fun again.
