My experience as a first-generation student granted me unique insights on how it feels to navigate through Higher Education without having the necessary tools or guidance while pursuing my dreams. The library has played an integral role in helping me rebuild my confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills. As a result, it is my personal goal to make sure students' researchers, members from my community are aware of the library resources, services, spaces, emerging technology."
