My name is Chelsea, and I am in my final semester of the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program here at San Jose State University. I hold a bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology with a minor in Forensics and Criminality from the University of Southern California (Fight On!). Over the past year and a half, I have worked as a Library Assistant at my hometown public library, which is the very same one I grew up visiting. Before that, I gained four years of valuable academic library experience at USC\u2019s law and medical libraries. I am deeply passionate about education, information literacy, and the role of libraries as inclusive community and information hubs. As a first-generation, low-income college graduate, I am especially committed to supporting first-gen students as they navigate the challenges of collegiate research, writing, and information access. My goal is to help empower all individuals, regardless of background, with the tools and confidence to succeed through equitable and transformative library services. I believe this course will help me connect individuals from all walks of life with their various information needs. I cannot wait to learn together in this course!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7\" style=\"width: 387px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n-1536x1053.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/thehyperlinkedera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/526\/2025\/08\/487733411_1121790366642092_5682699228692421067_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">From left to right: My nieces Pearl and Avery, myself, and a friend at Storytime at the library I now work at.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Besides the academic background and my career goals, these are some of my favorite things.
