To say I am proud of my best friend Hollie would be an understatement! She has been inspiring me for over 20 years and I know that she will inspire so many others with her passion and love of helping others. She is going to be an amazing librarian and is going to continue to change so many peoples lives just like she has changed mine.

PROFILE
Current residence: Wildomar, CA, US
I wanted to earn a masters degree because:
I didn't. I swore after my bachelor's that I was done. This program and career choice intrigued me enough to want to go for it!
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My mentor/best friend Angela, my husband Matt and my best friend April. These 3 kept me from losing it, gave me excellent advice, and showed me that I am capable of achieving this degree. I love them so much!
While in the program, I met classmates from:
Around the world. It was fantastic learning about how others were going to use their degrees in their home countries.
What I liked best about online learning was:
My entire educational journey has been online from my bachelor's to both of my master's. I love that I can be comfortable in my own space while learning and having deadlines.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:
I enjoyed doing work that was important and being able to use what I was learning outside of the classroom before I even graduated. I obtained a volunteer position with a library that I kept post-graduation. This program allowed me to meet others I wouldn't normally have , which I am grateful for.
I plan to use my degree to:
Take over the world! Oh, I'm kidding! I would like to use my degree to help those in the disabled communities within the library realm, possibly in a community college setting. I'm also looking into archival work. It's so fascinating.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
Meeting other librarians who share the same passions within this field. Librarians are influential and important to our communities and I can't wait to be a part of something great.
