My experience as a Chinese person in Canada, my family and especially my grandmothers, have taught me the importance of family, identity, culture and history. My journey in libraries, and the library users I have met, have brought me to a place that values community, diverse voices and shared experiences, and the connections we can share. I am grateful to these teachers and the path that it has led me to.

My role at KPU Library as the Student Engagement and Community Outreach Librarian involves engaging and reaching out to students and KPU’s learning community in the form of events and communication. My professional background has included serving as the Interim Indigenous Liaison and EDIA Librarian, supervising an Accessible Services unit in a public library and as a Community Outreach Librarian who has served underrepresented communities and peoples.

My goal as a librarian is to build community, engage with library users and meet their needs. I strive to provide leadership and support towards work that enables better access, addresses barriers, improves experiences and increases the usability of the library to our users.
