Introductions

Hello! My name is Natalie Wong and I live in southern California, specifically in a town called Monrovia, which is in the Los Angeles area. I work in the Theater Department at East Los Angeles College, a large community college, as the Theater Manager. I plan to complete my MLIS program at the end of this year and would like to stay in the college system. I would actually love to stay at ELAC and work at the library there.

I am taking this class because I remember Dr. Stephens’ lectures from INFO200 way back in spring 2021, my first semester at SJSU. I always knew I wanted to take another class with him, so here I am. I am looking forward to learning and exploring with everyone this summer.

I am sharing a few photos of me and my family, who take up all my time outside of work and SJSU. My husband and I have three kids, ages 9, 7, and 2. We have become a “theme park family” where we go to places like Legoland, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and other carnival-type events for all our vacations. It’s both extremely fulfilling and challenging to be a mom and watch my kids grow and progress–they are my whole heart!
