I have been a vegetarian for 20 years now and am making my way towards being a vegan.

My wife and I have been married for 10 years and she is also a vegetarian. Danielle is an aspiring artist and I am her biggest fan.

I am a daughter of immigrants and a first generation graduate student. Honoring my parents sacrifice is one of my biggest motivations.

During my time at SJSU I hope to learn more about the specific areas that I could focus on. Right now I am especially interested in Public Libraries and Archives.

I graduated way back in 2010 from Northern Arizona University with my BA in Political Science and absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I spent time working jobs that never really utilized my degree and that never really felt true to who I was.  I spent a long time soul searching and thinking about what would make me really happy. I researched a lot of career paths and those people closest to me were anxiously waiting on my to make my decision (my mom even bought me a career outlook book with every imaginable career listed, sheesh). No matter what I looked into I always came back to Librarianship. Libraries and the search for new information have always been a big part of my life. Once I finally committed to this path I did a ton of research on different schools and programs and SJSU really seemed to stand out. The program offered everything that I was looking for and here I am!

I am from Flagstaff, Arizona and I have lived here my entire life. It is a relatively small community with a ton of character. We are located at the base of the sacred San Francisco Peaks and sit at a lovely 7,000 feet. We are the world's first International Dark Sky City and our big claim to fame is that Pluto was discovered here. Just please don't remind any of us that Pluto is no longer a planet. :)
