PROFILE

Current residence: Omaha, NE, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I knew that this would be an opportunity for me to continue making an impact in my community and in my career. I wanted to work hard for something that I truly believed in and to challenge myself.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My friends Matt, John, Anneka, Angela, and Javier as well as my professors at iSchool.

While in the program, I met classmates from:

California, Illinois, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, and Texas, to name a few.

What I liked best about online learning was:

I was able to work a full time job while getting my classes done. I made a plan for studying and projects and stuck to that in order to successfully complete all assignments and extra activities.

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

I loved the challenge and the opportunity to learn about library-related topics while working in a library. I was able to use both experiences at once to really maximize the learning process for myself. I also really appreciated the help of Dr. Main and the advising when questions came up.

I plan to use my degree to:

Continue opening doors for myself and expanding my horizons and my own professional growth.

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

I just want to continue in the library field. I am at home in the library and know that I belong there. Getting through this program has put a lot of wind in my sail because I am absolutely sure that I did what was right for myself, my career, and my community.
