Native to Southern California, I join my inherent aesthetic intuition for design with a healthy dose of creative curiosity into my role as Associate Librarian at MiraCosta College Library and most recently, outreach coordinator, a role I unexpectedly stumbled into. With a knack for problem-solving, I turn ideas into meaningful, engaging visuals that advocate for all culturally diverse backgrounds.

Whether working independently with students to track down the right article “fit” for a research paper, or teaching a whole class an information literacy skill or two, I approach each teachable moment with patience, an empathetic listening ear, and most importantly, a supportive, genuinely caring “helping hand” to build lasting connections. From the very first interaction, you’ll notice my personable, contagious enthusiasm and uplifting positivity for helping them become critical thinkers.

I bring my unique background as an endlessly ambitious lifelong learner, who continues taking online college classes in her spare time, into forming connections with community college students and in partnerships with faculty members.
