I recently completed a two year position, where I was a Diversity Fellow Librarian at Purdue University Libraries in West Lafayette, Indiana. My position was a great learning experience, where I was able to explore many aspects of librarianship and also work in increasing library outreach to diverse populations on campus.

After the last two years in the Midwest I decided to return to my home, the Southwest, for the next step in my career. I recently began my current position of Children's Librarian with the Pima County Public Library in Tucson, AZ at the Martha Cooper branch. It has been a big change from academic to public librarianship, but I am definitely enjoying working with children and families once again.

I am originally from Tucson, AZ and a 2006 graduate of the University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science (SIRLS). I was also a member of the third cohort of Knowledge River, a program that focuses on the education of Hispanic and Native American library and information professionals. I am also an active member of REFORMA, an affiliate of ALA that promotes library and information services to Latinos and the Spanish speaking.

I look forward to meeting all of you in January in Denver!
