My Story

I’m currently a graduate student in Library Science at Queens College GLSIS.  My passion is combining creativity with community.  As a future librarian, I’m excited about the possibilities of setting up interactive creative experiences for library patrons. Some ideas I have are graphic novel drawing classes, bringing books to life through acting workshops, and pop-up book making classes for children.

Some of my previous work experience that involves creativity through community includes filmmaking, animation and hairstyling. Here are some photos of films and fun hair I projects I’ve worked on recently.

I’ve worked in various departments on film sets. I was the Wardrobe Designer for this short film “Big Black Eye” by Director Dante Salerno and Pitwah Productions.

I also continue to enjoy collaborating with other artists and musicians just for fun. This is a video I made for the Brooklyn based band Vostok using a special effects 8mm ap on my iPhone.

 

The rest of my blog will focus on my journey to becoming a librarian. I’m currently enrolled in my first class in my first semester of graduate school. This class, The Technology of Information, is a very thorough introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of technology that a librarian has to master in the current digital information revolution; and is a mixture of readings on technology and social informatics, and practical projects in coding, excel, and web authoring.  I’ll be posting the projects I create for this class throughout the semester.
