About Me
About Me
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
My name is Joy, and I am from Tomball, Texas. I attended Sam Houston State University where I majored in education, with a specialization in 4-8th grade English, Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies.
I taught 7th and 8th grade language arts and social studies for 8 wonderful years in Tomball ISD, where I had proven success in helping students master the TEKS, addressing learners' social/emotional needs, creating a safe and fun learning environment, and designing and implementing engaging instruction.
I have always had a passion for reading, and often used books as a way to connect with students, so I decided to get my master's degree in library science to combine my two passions: teaching and reading. I attended Sam Houston State University for my master's program, where I learned the skill necessary to turn my love of reading into a career as a school librarian.
I have spent the last year creating a school library program- from scratch- in Waller ISD that is safe, inclusive, diverse, and FUN! I aim to foster a love of reading and learning in students by creating a space that encourages creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and reading for pleasure.
Please take a look around to learn more about my vision as a school librarian, and to see samples of my work.
