The degree of

Master of Archives and Records Administration

Virtual Convocation
2019

PROFILE

Current residence: Port Richey, FL, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I felt the Master in Archives and Records Administration would compliment my undergraduate degree in history and help in community level preservation and outreach.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

Family, friends and professors gave me flight and allowed me to soar to new heights of confidence within the MARA program. I am very fortunate to have made new friends in Jessica Berger, Junia Yasenov and Christine Mazzello. I thank all of my Facebook friends and Gail for encouraging me on. To the power of thumbs up and hearts...I Love You All!

While in the program, I met classmates from:

California, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Canada. I can't forget my SAA mentor from Egypt.

What I liked best about online learning was:

The ability to frame responses and retain them in classroom discussions.

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

Collaborating with fellow classmates on group projects was both challenging and exciting. I also enjoyed learning Content dm, Preservica, SharePoint and creating my own website!

I plan to use my degree to:

Working in a museum archive is the dream and to reach that goal, I'd like to intern at a local library's archive to gain valuable experience.

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

Passing my certification in archives and also the certified records managers
