a little bit about me.

My name is Erika, and I'm an (almost) librarian. I am passionate about teaching, collaboration, design, and emerging technologies. This is just a snapshot of a few things I'm proud of, thanks for saying hi.

Undergraduate Student Success Team

I worked with the Undergraduate Student Success Team at the University of Washington Libraries from June - December 2018. You can read about the programs I worked on, the style guide I created, and the bibliography I wrote in my reflection here. Design by me.


Teaching + Instruction

My teaching philosophy is influenced by critical and culturally responsive pedagogies, and focuses on student-led active learning. I regularly teach information literacy and work with students at the busy reference desk at Seattle Central College and serve on the teaching team for the UW Libraries' Storytelling Fellows.


Collection + Display: Family Separation

In the Research Commons I have worked on creating several displays and collections. Over Summer Quarter 2018 we created this display and corresponding bookmarks in response to current events and concern in our community. Design by me.


GIS Symposium

At the UW Libraries I helped to coordinate and run the annual GIS Symposium. This event featured graduate student and faculty researchers from across many disciplines who use GIS tools and highlighted the library's GIS services. Design by me.
