About

I'm currently the Research and Learning Librarian at California State University, Stanislaus, where I provide reference services assisting the academic community while maintaining online research guides and instructional aides. In the past I've been an Assistant Librarian at Stanislaus State, a Metadata Analyst at Stanford University, and a Book Buyer at Recycle Bookstore. I graduated from San Jose State University with a Master of Information Science degree. My emphasis was in Digital Services and my focus was on maintaining digital objects in repositories. I interned at Stanford University as a Metadata Analyst.
