Your Library Team
Hello Tanglewood Family! I am thrilled to serve as the librarian at TMS.
Before I became a school librarian I was an English teacher and a Computer Literacy Teacher. I have degrees from Penn State, Converse College and USC and over 29 years of teaching experience.
When I am not working I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, and being with friends and family.
I am grateful to have worked as the TMS Media Clerk for the past six years. I love our students and look forward to serving you! Please come visit me in the media center, and let me know how I can help you. I really enjoy reading! My favorite genres are YA Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and I will do my best to help you find books that you will enjoy too.
