Author: A2025-soto

Hello everyone! My name is Fabiola Marín Soto, and I am from Costa Rica, the land of “pura vida.” I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Library and Information Science with an emphasis in Educational Libraries. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Educational Technology; if everything goes all right, by the time you read this, I will have already earned my degree. I work as a full-time faculty member at the University of Costa Rica, where I primarily teach courses related to information organization, educational innovation, and the transformation of libraries into learning spaces. Over the past year, I collaborated with the Office for ICT-Mediated Teaching Support in the development of professional development courses for faculty members.
