PROFILE

Current residence: Kansas City, MO, US

I wanted to earn a masters degree because:

I wanted to make a career change from Finance/Accounting to Librarianship.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My author friends and fellow librarians in Kansas City.

While in the program, I met classmates from:

All over the nation and even Canada.

What I liked best about online learning was:

That it could fit my busy schedule as an author and full-time worker.

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

Learning all of the ins and outs of librarianship that you don't normally see when visiting a public library.

I plan to use my degree to:

Help others through programs and creating positive change for my community.

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

Working in a library atmosphere! I've been volunteering for a couple years now and I can't wait to immerse myself!
