she was first involved in helping to ensure UCI’s smooth transition from Archivists’ Toolkit, and used the ArchivesSpace application and supervises others in their use of it on a daily basis. Her ArchivesSpace-specific activities at UCI included testing migrations
and features, developing and implementing workflows, creating user documentation, training, and working closely with staff, students, and IT support to make the application work for all.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of archives. She took a lead role in developing dynamic campus and community programming to highlight materials in Special Collections & Archives, including a now annual ZineFest that promotes UCI’s rich collections of handmade, community-centric zines and
gives participants chances to engage with and produce their own content. She received her MLIS from San Jose State University and has an undergraduate degree from UCI with a dual major in Film & Media Studies and History.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
