I received my Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Early Childhood through 4th Grade) and taught at Sonntag Elementary School in Frisco ISD for 8 years. As a Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher, I developed lifelong learners in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and technology by facilitating positive educational opportunities and implementing quality classroom management. I am now seeking my Masters Degree in Educational Technology and Library Science from Texas A&M University - Commerce to pursue a career as an Elementary School Librarian.

On a personal note, I am married to my college sweetheart Truman and we have three children, Liam (9), Lorelei (6) and Ellis (2). We live in McKinney, TX and are a part of the Prosper community as that is where our children attend school and where our family is a part of Prestonwood Baptist Church's north campus in Prosper. I have been a lifelong lover of books and am a big advocate of early literacy and exposing children to quality literature, which is why I am so excited about my new adventure as a librarian!

As the elementary library media specialist, I provide a wide range of services for the staff and students on my campus to enhance the learning that is going on at our school! Not only do I provide opportunities for students to engage with literacy resources but technology tools as well. The culmination of these library materials creates learning opportunities with the 21st century learner in mind! I am a reliable source of information for my students and the staff members in my district, because I stay up to date with the latest trends in literature, technology, curriculum, and educational practices. I collaborate with classroom teachers, administration and other librarians to create learning opportunities that are not only curricular-based but also engaging, transformative, and interactive to deepen student understanding of the content. What are some ways that I can help you integrate technology or library resources in your classroom?
