As someone whose work lies at the intersection of librarianship, technology, and social justice, my journey has been driven by a quest to democratize access to information and empower individuals through knowledge. I'm a versatile and accomplished professional with a proven track record of delivering exceptional service in libraries. From research support to technology assistance, program development to readers' advisory, I've got the skills to handle it all. My specialty, informed by the Universal Design for Learning philosophy, is creating inclusive and welcoming spaces where everyone feels valued and inspired to explore. I believe big data and AI can help librarians develop more inclusive and equitable programs and services. I'm passionate about promoting diversity in library collections and services, and I love dreaming up new ways to foster a culture of inclusivity, creativity, and learning.Collaboration is key. I thrive on working with colleagues to enhance library services and ensure that every patron has a stellar experience. Whether it's developing engaging programs or providing top-notch patron services, I'm always ready with energy and enthusiasm to lend a hand and share valuable insights.Highlights:May 2025 MLIS Candidate, University of South Carolina2023-2025 Association of Research Libraries Kaleidoscope Scholar2023 Black Caucus of the American Library Association E.
