I am an online MLIS student based in Portland, Oregon.
Professionally, I have a strong interest in technological literacy and how information operates globally.
Personally, I am interested in travel and has a small obsession with hiking across micro-states.
I believe cultural exchange and global awareness can provide a positive framework for the further
development of information science.

degree in computer science and I currently work as a web developer for a small
