I've been at ACR since 2004 and in the media center/library since 2016. I was an English teacher first before moving downstairs to be surrounded by even more books every day! I never can answer "What's your favorite book?" because I enjoy reading so many. I *love* to help students find a book they love, even when they say they don't enjoy reading. I also love when students give me suggestions of books to read: I learn every day from students!

When I'm not helping students and teachers, I enjoy biking/hiking/camping with my family.
