I am a Nationally Board-Certified Teacher and hold a Master’s Degree in Reading which challenges me to always deliver high quality and effective lessons. I have been teaching for over 16 years, which began in the classroom teaching 3rd grade. I then moved to 2nd before transitioning to the library. No matter if I am in the classroom or the library classroom, I strive to make literacy a positive experience for all learners. I love not only books, but writing as I work with students to take their ideas in their head and transport them onto paper. Additionally, as a mom to three children (ages 4, 7, and 9), I love making learning fun. Writing can often times be a struggle for children and my enthusiastic and patient personality helps students feel comfortable and engaged in the lessons. I truly love making all my classes fun, interactive, and exciting for all learners!
