Meet the Student Assistants

Elysia Chu
I was born in Vancouver, Canada but spent most of my life in Manila, Philippines. I am majoring in Web Design and Engineering and am currently a sophomore, a transfer student from The University of Hong Kong. Throughout the years, I have developed a passion for graphic design and have gained extensive knowledge in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Over the summer, I also took courses that taught me more about Flash, Maya, Rhino, and Final Cut Pro. I am a new Technology Training Student Assistant and will be at your service for any software-related questions here at the Library Information Desk. I am always happy to help so do drop by! I really look forward to meeting you all.

Danielle Pontes
Hi, my name is Danielle Pontes and I am a senior Web Design and Engineering major. I was born and raised in Hawaii, but decided to come to Silicon Valley to pursue my interests in computers and technology. During my coursework, I developed a true passion for graphic and web design. I look forward to graduation and continuing my learning in a masters program in design. Although the Silicon Valley is the ideal place to create a career in the web design field, I hope to find a way to take my skills back to either Hawaii or New Zealand, where I studied abroad in 2010. I am truly an "island girl" at heart. Until then, I am serving as the Technology Training Assistant in the library for technology training open-lab. If you have any questions regarding software such as Microsoft Office or the Adobe suite, come find me and I'll be happy to help.
