I started my career as a fourth grade teacher for 10 years then became a children's librarian. I have been working with children and teens in the public library for over 10 years. I have 3 teen aged children, 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, chickens, a turtle, and a ferret that keep me very busy. I enjoy spending time outdoors near the water.
I have worked for Carroll County Public Library for 22 years. I read a lot and love doing Reader's Advisory for all ages--and creating programs. I have two sons, two adorable bunnies, and one (slightly spoiled) granddaughter.
