I've been the library media teacher at Winter Hill since September of 2002 which is well before any of our current students were even born! I have two kids who love to drive me crazy especially during remote school. My favorite thing to do to relax is read and I have read well over 400 books since remote school started in the spring. When I'm not reading I like to chat and hang out with the other teachers at school especially the rest of the specialist teachers. I also love to create and build things using technology and makerspace materials.
