Author: Jade Sanchez-Ventura

Jade Sanchez-Ventura is bringing her first year of studies in the MLIS program to a close this May. She’s pursuing academic librarianship, with a serious crush on digital humanities. Since the fall, she can’t stop thinking about our relationship to our own data, and she is delighted by Ranganathan’s 5 Laws of Library Science. Her previous decades of work as a writer and educator are shaping her approach to librarianship with her eye for storytelling and foundation in critical pedagogy. Her personal essays have been awarded and published by a wide array of literary organizations, highlighted by Bitch Media’s (former) podcast, Popaganda, and anthologized by Seal Press. She is a series contributor to MUTHA Magazine. As an educator, she worked as a Community Word Project teaching artist, CUNY adjunct professor, and advisor/administrator at the Brooklyn Free School. She is a parent of two, and a devoted surfer of very small waves.
