Born and raised in southern California, but with family ties in the big apple. I am a former makeup artist, making a career change and discovering new adventures every day. With my off-beat personality and passion for knowledge, I am looking to bring a dynamic perspective to my professional career as a future librarian. My heart lies in archiving, but the courses I have taken here at Pratt, have opened my mind to many other options including academic and performing arts librarianship. All aspects of this field are constantly evolving, by adding new technologies and capabilities, and I am anxious to become a part of it.
