TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 15th year as an elementary school library media specialist and technology teacher. Before entering the library I worked for the Cooperative Extension Service for 6 years doing early childhood education and 4-H education programs. The products listed in my store are actually used in my classroom!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I think outside of the box, love to learn new ways of teaching, and truly believe that being able to find the answer to any question is one of the most important parts of a child's education.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I have been a presenter for the Kentucky Library Association annual conference and I have served on the Kentucky Bluegrass Award nomination committee for grades 3-5. I am a Nationally Board Certified teacher in Library Media.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have my BA in Communication from Northern Kentucky University and my MS in Library Media Education from Western Kentucky University. I am a National Board Certified Teacher in Library Media.
