My name is Kelsey Molina, and my pronouns are she, her, hers. I am a third year student from the Bay Area, majoring in English and minoring in Ethnic Studies. I, myself, am an EOP student and I have also participated in Summer Institute. More importantly, I am this year's EOP Library Liaison. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any library related questions. If I do not know the answer to your question, I can definitely direct you to the person who does.
