about us

I am excited to begin my 16th year as a librarian, and our 12th together at England Elementary! This year also marks my 21st in education, with the first five of those years spent in the classroom teaching Kindergarten. 

I am a proud graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, holding a degree in Applied Learning & Development, specializing in Early Childhood Education. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Texas in 2007, I started a new adventure as a librarian and have enjoyed having the best job in the school ever since!  When I’m not in the library, I love spending time with my husband and our two children.
