Meet the Staff

Hello! I am new to Harvard District 50 and the school library as of the beginning of the school year 2023, but have been working in public libraries for almost 10 years.

I have my Bachelor of Arts from Youngstown State University in Ohio, as well as my Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and my Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

I am currently obtaining my School Librarian Endorsement at Dominican University, as well as my PhD in Creative Writing from York St. John University.

I love teaching the kids about books, information, and learning! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Hi, I am a native of Harvard and I have been with the district for several years, but this is my first year in the school library. I previously worked in classrooms assisting students with math and reading.

I have my degree in Early Childhood Education from McHenry County College.

I enjoy the opportunity to work with all of the students in the school and helping them grow their love of libraries!
