My TCCL career began in 2014 at the Martin Regional Library in east Tulsa, with an emphasis on serving Spanish-speaking customers as a bilingual (English/Spanish) staff member. One of my first responsibilities outside of regular customer service duties was to support the Hispanic Resource Center (HRC) at Martin Regional. I assisted Coordinator Sara Martinez for a short time before she transitioned to a new position, and then assisted new Coordinator Heather Martinez (no relation). In this assisting role, I found books, helped make displays, and supported events for Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM).
After transitioning to a full-time position as a Bilingual Children's Associate, I continued to assist HRC Coordinator Heather Martinez with a focus on events for children and families. This collaboration afforded me the opportunity to assist with important author visits for Hispanic Heritage Month and to connect with the Hispanic community in east Tulsa. Notable events include:
