Good morning,

I'm not a candidate for ALA Council, but I am a candidate for YALSA President-Elect, 2014-2015. I am a past board member-at-large for APALA, a lifetime member of APALA, a current member of AILA, APALA, BCALA, and Reforma, a 2005 ALA Spectrum Scholar and a 2012 ALA Emerging Leader.  I'm also the project manager for the Los Angeles Public Library's partnership with Gale/Cengage and Career Online High School.

Best wishes,
