Welcome to new MLGSCA member Monica Garcia! Monica is a Health and Life Sciences Librarian at the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, and serves as the library liaison to the School of Public Health and School of Nursing. Monica received her MLIS and MA in Latin American Studies from UCLA in 2011. Prior to joining the Biomedical Library, she worked as a reference intern and student supervisor/stacks coordinator at the UCLA Hugh and Hazel Darling Law School Library. A Southern California native, Monica’s interest in librarianship was sparked by a high school job as a page and aid at the Thousand Oaks Public Library. She finds that health sciences librarianship is an excellent way to combine her interests in health services and information sciences. She has joined MLGSCA to meet other health sciences librarians and to take advantage of mentorship opportunities. In addition to providing instructional services, reference services, and building collections at UCLA, Monica is currently working on a project to revamp the UCLA Biomedical Library’s presence in social media. When she’s not working, you can find Monica out exploring Los Angeles neighborhoods or trying new foods. If you have suggestions for new places to explore, or want to hear about unique restaurants in your neighborhood, get in touch with Monica!
