Over the past thirty-plus years, I have been fortunate to serve in a variety of roles in education, including as a classroom teacher, Special Projects/School Improvement Teacher, Mentor, and currently as a Library Media Specialist. As a librarian, I guide students to the resources that will support their learning, as well as collaborate with teachers to develop multimedia lessons. The best part of my job is matching students with the perfect book.

   I am a member of the Missouri Association of School Librarians (MASL) and the St. Louis Suburban School Librarian Association (SLSSLA). Professional contributions include writing book reviews for School Librarian Journal. 

     In addition to reading, my hobbies include trail riding on my Rocky Mountain horse, Tuff, and traveling. I've visited most of the states in America, as well as traveled to the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and India. In Xuzhou, China I taught ESL strategies to educators who teach English to their students.  For my next adventure, I'd like to drive the Ring Road in Iceland.
