About Me: I am looking forward to my "next chapter" as Media Specialist at Pickens Junior High School. The 2018-19 school year will be my 19th year as a media specialist and my 12th year in Pickens County. As they say, time flies when you're having fun! One of the best things I get to do in my job is to connect kids with books they will love.

I live in Ball Ground with my husband and our son James who just graduated from high school. He will be attending Kennesaw State University in the fall, and I'm sure I'll miss him even though he will be close by!
