The Systems Behind Every Story

Professional Credentials & LIS

With my Master of Library and Information Science and Advanced Certificate in Strategic Management of Digital Assets from San José State University, I currently serve as faculty in the BS Information Science & Data Analytics program at SJSU, coordinating operations for 350+ students and developing innovative curriculum that bridges traditional information science with emerging technologies. In tandem, I run a library at a rural elementary school focusing on information and digital literacy curriculum. This dual foundation provides the systematic methodology that transforms creative concepts into rigorous, impactful narratives—the research-driven framework behind every story I create.

Commitment to Professional Ethics & Information Literacy

My work is guided by the fundamental ethics of librarianship—intellectual freedom, equitable access to information, privacy, and professional neutrality. My commitment to information and digital literacy drives both my teaching and collaborative projects, ensuring that technological fluency is paired with critical thinking skills across diverse audiences. To every project, I bring integrity.

Information Science Methodology in Practice

Information science provides the systematic foundation for all my work. My expertise encompasses digital preservation, information architecture, research methodology, digital asset management, and curriculum development. This approach ensures that cultural heritage projects preserve authentic voices, educational initiatives build genuine literacy skills, and emerging technologies serve human connection.

I developed digital literacy curricula and research frameworks aligned with educational standards—experience that continues to inform my university teaching and approach to making complex concepts accessible.

Academic & Industry Collaboration

This dual expertise in information science and media production creates opportunities for collaboration with academic institutions bridging library science with emerging technologies, educational organizations developing literacy programs, and cultural institutions requiring systematic approaches to digital preservation.
