Before coming to Stanford, I worked at the Hesburgh Libraries at the University of Notre Dame. Prior to that I worked at Medical, Business, and Public libraries. Interestingly enough, I was employed as a Certified Criminal Defense Private Investigator before becoming a librarian.

While at Stanford, I successfully advocated for our libraries to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. The libraries tweeted my speech about my feelings about Juneteenth in relation to a recent cluster of televised police shootings. My Juneteenth speech is in the Stanford Digital Repository, along with video of my protest near Stanford, after the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. My Juneteenth video essay was also included in Stanford University's African & African American Studies Special Issue publication called "The 2020 Project." I was pleased to contribute to the Rise Up for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) exhibit especially the timeline of Asian Americans and African Americans Points of Unity and Discord.

On June 30, 2022, I was featured in Stanford Law School's Center for Racial Justice's (SCRJ) newsletter. I collaborated with SCRJ on their Black August article. In 2021, the struggle continued. I helped coordinate the libraries' first ever Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Fair. In October 2022, I added a book signing event with Ericka Huggins for our second annual JEDI Fair in 2022. In August 2022, we completed a successful partnership with CESTA and the Office of Community Engagement to hire 12 community college students as KSR interns. In November 2022, I co-hosted a panel discussion with the two founders of the Black and Missing Foundation at the d.School.

My hard work was recognized when I was nominated for a Black Community Services Center Award after I created a highly successful Black Lives Matter (BLM) exhibit, "Say Their Names - No More Names." A Stanford alumnae printed my 65 exhibit stories and onto posters in her front yard and added spotlights and chairs to help educate passersby. My exhibit touched people internationally, including librarians in Brighton, United Kingdom who were considering creating a similar exhibit based on colonialism as opposed to my exhibit which focused on America's Anti-Black racism. Say Their Names - No More Names was included in Stanford Reports’ (2020) Year in Review under the Arts & Creativity section.

I was invited to join the Advisory Group for the University's Long-Range Planning's Affinity Group, called People of Color in Technology (POC-IT). This group advances representation, engagement, and support for people of color in technology roles at Stanford. In 2020, as a member of POC-IT’s Advisory Group I pushed for the addition of meaningful action items to our Black Lives Matter solidarity statement as opposed to merely words and we launched a Pilot Sponsorship Program in July 2021. I was also featured in Stanford's Women in Technology (WIT) Newsletter in July 2021. In March 2021, I was interviewed for a Stanford student's podcast, called Real Ballers Read, “What the Other Wes Moore Reveals About Systemic Racism and Personal Responsibility.”

I developed professionally produced instructional videos featuring the new library mascot that I created called the "Nerd Squirrel." They are on YouTube: Primary Sources , How to use SearchWorks , How to Search databases , Leapfrogging and Evaluating Sources. Students love my Nerd Squirrel, which is great for branding. 

American Libraries magazine published two articles about my Virtual Reality Symposium at ALA Midwinter in 2020. In the June 1, 2020 issue they published about my VR concept in "What the Future Holds: Library Thinkers on the Most Exciting Technology and Noteworthy Trends." The other American Libraries magazine article included my symposium topic discussing Using Virtual Reality to Fight Fake News. I was also featured in an April 1, 2020 Stanford Report article about staff members working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was also included in the April 22, 2020 ReMix article “Stanford Libraries staff keep students and faculty connected to vital resources during virtual spring quarter.”

I am proud to have created paid internships for first generation college students, specifically First-Generation Low-Income (FLI) High School students from underrepresented populations, in 2013 & 2014.

I published blog posts showcasing my unique approach to diversity issues in librarianship. The first was "It is Puzzling" which uses a puzzle to augment my "Linguistic Diversity" article. The second blog post was a four-part series, called "Academic Fake News: Information Wars." This post illustrates how minorities have always been recipients of fake news. 

I created an "Amazing Library Titles Race" game for library instruction, in 2015. This was the same year that I experimented with Zombie (video game) Battles to build bonds between librarians and students. I also piloted my "Free-Range" library instruction workshops. These were library classes held outside near trees, using mobile devices or laptops only. I presented at the Hawaii Library Association's Annual Conference on Flipped Classrooms and the Amazing Race. I also created an outdoor reference service located near a fountain. The theme for this service was "Librarians are fountains of information." I am still asked about my previous work, including my popular and funny, RefWorks Citation Cop spoof video. I also created De-Stress Fests to help Stanford students relax during exams, our team expanded the concept to include llamas. These events also included massages, dog therapy, art therapy (painting parties) as well as games from childhood, jigsaw puzzles and snacks of course. When Second Life was an emerging technology, I created an incredibly successful program used in my instruction class that allowed students to arrange materials on a rack separating scholarly journals from popular magazines. I created a maze that required them to answer library questions in order to advance to the next rooms.

The Second Life program and RefWorks video creation as well as details about my literacy program I created inside of a Juvenile Jail are all discussed in detail in my book, Cybrarian Extraordinaire: Compelling Information Literacy Instruction.
