Introducing new staff members Gisella De La Portilla and Roberto Torres-Torres
This semester the William R. Jenkins Architecture, Design, and Art Library welcomes two new colleagues, Library Supervisor Gisella De La Portilla and Library Manager Roberto Torres-Torres.
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Houston, Roberto is a graduate of the University of Houston, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art/Painting with a minor in Art History. He worked previously at the MD Anderson Library and the UH Graduate School. Roberto has shown his art in solo and group shows and continues to draw and paint. At our library, Roberto will be managing our service desk, facility maintenance, training the staff and student workers, interlibrary loan and paging, supplies, and budgeting.
Like all members of the department, Gisella and Roberto’s primary tasks will be helping our patrons access information and master research methods.
