PROFILE

Current residence: Camarillo, CA, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

after reading a job description for digital archivist, I finally realized what I wanted to be when I grew up - everything clicked into place and I had a goal.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

my wife Leah, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Sam, my siblings, and Alexis....And also my cats.

What I liked best about online learning was:

the flexibility it allowed so that I didn't need to move or limit myself when it came to scheduling classes around work

I plan to use my degree to:

become an archivist and work in digitization and/or reparative metadata

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

finding a position where I can utilize what I learned
