Outcome 5a. Apply marketing and/or advocacy principles to
demonstrate and promote the value of libraries and information
agencies.
I started working at the Rebecca Crown Library as a Technical Services Assistant in February 2020. For a portion of my time, I was part of the Outreach Team. Being a part of the Outreach Team meant that we were creating different materials that marketed the library. In 2021, I volunteered to run a campaign during Women in Translation Month (August). The campaign was successful, and so I continued to make recommendation posts under the tag "Decolonize Your Bookshelf." To the right are just some of the posts that I created during the campaign. Visit the Rebecca Crown Library Instagram page to see them posted.

Outcome 5b. Demonstrate effective professional communication to
achieve common understanding as an individual or in group settings.
In LIS 702, we were assigned to work with two other colleagues to complete an assignment. For this project we had to develop a lesson plan for whatever audience and library type that we wanted. My group and I met via Zoom and coordinated through email to create a lesson plan we all agreed on. We created the attached lesson plan aimed for toddlers at a public library.

Outcome 5c. Demonstrate leadership principles in an educational,
professional, or community context.
In LIS 707, we were tasked with creating an extensive and detailed program proposal. The proposal was expected to be relevant and actionable. I have lived in the Berwyn community for many years and have worked with the community, so I created a program with a real, assessed need of the local community. I proposed a bilingual early literacy program at the Berwyn Public Library. This proposal spearheads a program that requires adequate leadership for its success.
