I\u2019m Ruby (she\/her), and I\u2019m 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">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\u2019 garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">To conclude this introductory post, here is a picture of my cat, Jae!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gray tabby cat\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedtea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/571\/2026\/06\/jae-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\", geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Name: Jae<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
