PROFILE

Current residence: Valley Village, CA, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I'm excited to pursue a new career helping people meet their information needs by teaching them how to use the tools which surround all of us and the means to evaluate the results those tools deliver.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My husband, my parents, my sister and so many of my wonderful friends.

What I liked best about online learning was:

I could go at my own pace and managed to also start my first job at my favorite local library.

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

This chance to pursue a new dream career.

I plan to use my degree to:

Become either a Public Librarian or Archivist in a Film/Entertainment History capacity.

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

Simultaneously getting back to a full time job but also having more free time to spend with my husband and friends. And also just reading for fun.
