I am the access services librarian in the De Anza College Library. After attending De Anza College I transfered to U.C. Santa Cruz where I studied American and English Literature. I received my Master in Library and Information Science from San Jose State University. I have worked at De Anza College for 19 years, both as a classified employee and, since 2005, as a member of the faculty.
