Hello everyone! I’m Ruby (she/her), and I’m from Los Angeles, California. This is my second to last semester in this program, and I am set to graduate in Fall 2026 after I complete my e-Portfolio. I chose this course because I work in a library with older patrons who are not as tech-savvy. Therefore, I am excited to learn more about integrating physical and virtual spaces through technological tools and creating meaningful connections.
Currently, I work as a library assistant in the literacy department of my local public library. At the same time, I also teach ESL classes to our community patrons as part of my job responsibilities. In the future, I hope to be an Asian Services Librarian in the San Gabriel Valley and offer curated information and library resources that assist this underserved population of community members. I am also interested in working in libraries abroad but it is still too early for me to decide on a path. I am a huge history nerd and avid enthusiast of ancient Chinese and medieval European history, so I might want to pursue a career in that field if provided the opportunity.
During my free time, I like to read, bullet journal, and binge movies and TV shows. After I graduate, I hope to get into gardening and revamp my parents’ garden.
To conclude this introductory post, here is a picture of my cat, Jae!
