Natalie Orozco is an MLIS student at the Pratt School of Information and youth librarian, holding a BA in Film and Digital Media studies from the University of Santa Cruz California. She is a library assistant working with middle school and high school students at the Dalton School. As a first generation child of Nicaraguan immigrants, she recognizes the potential of libraries as transformative and inclusive spaces. She is dedicated to dismantling barriers, promoting information literacy, and contributing to a more inclusive and equitable library community to support liberated learners. Drawing from her experiences as a filmmaker, bookseller and youth worker, Natalie is interested in the possibilities of storytelling as a vehicle for politicization, community-building, and radical hope.
