Editorial Team
Current Team - Fall 2022
Amber Passey (she/her), Editor-in-Chief

Amber has studied human development and applied linguistics, earning a B.S. from Brigham Young University and an M.A. in Applied Linguistics from the University of Utah, respectively. In her personal and professional life, she has developed skills in teaching, editing, and playing with young children. From her first human development course, she has loved the research process and sought opportunities to participate in research as an undergraduate assistant, a professional research assistant, and a graduate student researcher.
Benjamin Brown (he/him), Managing Editor

Ben earned a B.A. in European History from California State University, Fresno in 2013 and an M.A. in Modern European History from SJSU in 2018. He started his Master of Library and Information Science degree program in the spring of 2021 and has a focus in web programming and information architecture. In that time, he has been working as an intern for the University of Michigan as a researcher and librarian on a platform called 1cademy. Beyond his studies, Ben enjoys fly fishing and reading science fiction novels.
Amber Morrell (she/her), Content Editor

Amber earned her BA in English Literature from California State University, Fullerton. A lifelong California resident, she lived in the desert, the mountains, and the redwoods before settling in Orange County. Amber works as a senior library assistant in a public library system with particular interest in youth services, local history, and digital humanities. Outside of libraries, Amber writes fantasy and science fiction novels for children and young adults. In her meager free time, she enjoys camping with her husband and daughter, playing Dungeons & Dragons, and watching her two new kittens tease her dog.
Madison Jurgens (she/her), Content Editor

Madison graduated from the University of California, Irvine, in 2019 with a B.A. in Anthropology. She is currently pursuing a career in academic librarianship and anticipates graduating with her MLIS degree in the Fall 2022. Her passion for research and helping others to improve their writing has led her to join the Student Research Journal as a content editor. She is enthusiastic about the opportunity and hopes to continue involvement with the publication process in the future. Aside from academia, Madison enjoys hiking, building ceramics, and spending time with family in her free time.
Nicole Daly (she/her), Content Editor

Nicole graduated from Villanova University with a M.S. in Psychology, after attending and completing a B.A. in Psychology from Arcadia University. She served as the Vice President of Finance for the Graduate Student Council and as an editor of Concept during her time at Villanova and is excited to join the team of SRJ this semester. She anticipates graduating from SJSU’s MLIS program this Fall 2022. In her free time Nicole enjoys baking, spending time with family, and reading with a cat in her lap and a good cup of tea by her side.
Nick Catt (he/him), Content Editor

Nick was born and raised in Whittier, California, and currently resides in East Los Angeles. He holds MA and BA degrees in American Studies from California State University, Fullerton. In 2021, he entered SJSU’s MLIS program and looks forward to a career in public librarianship. He recently completed a summer internship providing reference by mail services to people who are incarcerated through San Francisco Public Library’s Jail and Reentry Services program. This experience and others in public library settings have convinced him of the transformative power of librarianship to effect real change in our world. In his free time, Nick enjoys collecting vinyl records and other physical music media. To the lament of his partner, he even has a growing collection of LaserDiscs.
Elizabeth Kuykendall (she/her), Copy Editor

Originally from San Diego, Elizabeth earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst before spending the next 15 years working with chimpanzees. She now works in Access Services and Communications at a university library in Washington. As a very part-time MLIS student, she will finally finish her degree in December 2023. When not working or studying, she enjoys reading, watching musical theater, doing jigsaw puzzles, and obsessing over her cats, Tilly and Roo.
Mia Lewis (she/her), Copy Editor

Mia Lewis began the MLIS program at SJSU in Fall of 2021 after several years of working in arts organizations and museums. She graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in World Arts and Cultures, and is happy to continue exploring digital humanities, archival practices, and information theory through the art of librarianship. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Mia currently lives in San Diego and also works as communications director for a small nonprofit. In between homework and Zoom meetings from her bedroom office, she can probably be found playing with her dog, making another cup of coffee, or adding new titles to her list of books to read.
