<strong>Statement</strong><br />
Since becoming a full-time librarian at <strong>UCLA</strong> Biomedical Library in June 2011, I’ve felt so<br />
lucky to have a great resource like LAUC-LA to help me connect with my new colleagues, both<br />
at <strong>UCLA</strong> <strong>and</strong> beyond, <strong>and</strong> keep me informed with informational sessions <strong>and</strong> the helpful website.<br />
As a member <strong>of</strong> the LAUC Committee on Programs, I have had the opportunity to participate in<br />
planning events that I hope have been memorable for LAUC-LA members.<br />
I am honored to be nominated to represent LAUC-LA at the statewide level as your Statewide<br />
Representative. As a Statewide Representative, I would work to represent <strong>UCLA</strong> librarians not<br />
only at the Assembly, but throughout the year. Based on the recommendations <strong>of</strong> previous<br />
representatives, I would work to promote more communication <strong>and</strong> outreach, especially by using<br />
web tools <strong>and</strong> social media. My philosophy is to strive to continuously evolve, both personally<br />
<strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionally, <strong>and</strong> I think libraries likewise need to embrace this spirit <strong>of</strong> openness to new<br />
possibilities, particularly in these times <strong>of</strong> change. I am excited about the opportunity to be more<br />
actively involved with shaping the library’s future through involvement with LAUC <strong>and</strong> LAUC-<br />
LA.<br />
