PROFILE

Current residence: Virginia Beach, VA, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I wanted to continue to grow in my career and become a librarian.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My husband, my parents, and my iSchool mentors, Dr. Anthony Chow, and Bethany Winslow.

What I liked best about online learning was:

The convenience of working on my degree when my schedule allowed it.

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

I enjoyed being a student assistant the most, I got to do a variety of different jobs, but my favorite was being a member of the VR team.

I plan to use my degree to:

Work in a library, archive, or museum.

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

Going back to work in the library field.
