My name is Mrs. Andersen. I have worked in the Shoreline Middle School Library for the past nine years. I love reading, especially middle grade fiction.  

I attended Cabrillo College, UC Davis, and San Jose State University. When I was young, I dreamed of being a veterinarian, but as I went through college, it seemed like there were a lot of veterinarians, and I wanted a career where I knew I could always have a job. I decided to attend San Jose State to get my teaching credential. After a couple of years of teaching, I met my husband and stayed home raising my three children.

I have always loved reading, even as a child. I still have my patches I received for completing the summer reading programs. I follow many authors on Twitter and Instagram and enjoy hearing about their books and their writing processes. It’s been my goal to have authors come visit our school, and several have come!
