About Us

President
With years of experience, my current role is as a  Supervising Librarian at Ontario City Library, and past roles include Youth and Family Services Manager at the Altadena Library District, Early Literacy Librarian with Ontario, and Librarian at Orange County Public Libraries. I've had the joy of working with patrons of all ages and diverse communities. I am especially passionate about serving the Spanish-speaking population. I absolutely love creating engaging programs, developing collections, and organizing events that bring people together to connect with the resources they need.

I plan to continue our chapter's mission of ensuring that all Spanish-speaking community members feel respected, valued, and heard. I aim to continue equipping chapter members with the tools to decolonize spaces, empower one another culturally, and provide mutual support.

I am deeply passionate about REFORMA IE’s mission to ensure that all Spanish-speaking community members feel respected, valued, and heard. In my current role as a Youth and Family Services Librarian, I have led the creation of Spanish-to-English translation guidelines and developed a Bilingual Evening Storytime program to welcome and better serve our Spanish-speaking patrons.
