I am a first-gen college graduate, and I moved to California from Canada in 2019. Before university, I went to college and initially had a difficult time transitioning to academia, often feeling overwhelmed and left behind. So, for me, the best part of my job is helping students feel included and a part of the academic and UCI community, and of course to find good quality resources! I work with students and faculty in Art History, Visual Studies, Art, and Film Studies so I do get quite busy. But no question is silly, and I'm here to help make the research process a little less stressful - maybe even fun!
