Profile Information
- Academic/Professional Biography
- I've had the joy of working for Foothill College since 2008 and prior to that, I worked as a research assistant, columnist, administrative assistant, and program coordinator.
I earned my B.A. in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. This fall, I look forward beginning work on my M.A. in English.
- How have you used open textbooks?
- As a student, I didn't use open textbooks, but I did use a lot of open resources (journal articles). I loved this experience, as it allowed me a lot of access to research materials without breaking my bank (which was quite light on funds while I was in college!).
- Which college, university, company, or organization?
- Foothill College
- Role: Student, Instructor, Author, Staff, Other (be specific)
- Web and administrative support for Foothill Global Access
