As a dedicated PhD candidate in Information Studies at UCLA, I bring a decade of experience in archival practice, community engagement, and leadership. My work centers on preserving and amplifying marginalized voices within archives, ensuring these stories are accessible and respected. With a strong foundation in ethical archival practices, I’ve successfully managed and expanded collections, developed innovative programs, and led teams to achieve organizational goals. This experience, combined with my extensive background in fundraising and strategic planning, underscores my commitment to advancing community-based archives.I’m passionate about fostering inclusive environments where diverse histories are preserved, explored, and celebrated. My goal is to continue driving positive change within archival spaces, ensuring they serve as dynamic resources for learning, connection, and empowerment.
