I have been a Library Media Specialist for 20 years. Most of those years were at various elementary buildings. I was also the Media Specialist at Erie 2 BOCES for 6 years. While in that position, my love for technology continued to grow. I was working with teachers and teaching them how to integrate and use different forms of technology in their classrooms.

I am so excited to enter this next phase of my educational career. I have always strived to nourish life long learners, because I myself am one. Moving to the High School is a challenge I have wanted to take for some time. I am nervous and excited to learn from my colleagues and from my students.

"If you want to feel secure, do what you already know how to do. If you want to be a true professional and continue to grow... Go to the cutting edge of your competency, which means a temporary loss of security. So whenever you don't quite know what you're doing, know you're growing."

The above is a quote from Madeline Hunter. I came across this quote many years ago and it is one that I continue to refer back to often.
