ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I taught for nine years and never imagined myself leaving the classroom or my students. I fell into the library unexpectedly and now could never imagine my life any other way. I love being able to collaborate with teachers of every subject, and I love being able to connect with each and every student.
