The library is the hub of the PGS learning community. Every day I look forward
to connecting students to books they will love and helping everyone learn to access the
information they need, whether from books or computers. Because I support teachers in every
subject area, I am also always learning new things!
     This is my 7th year at PGS as the teacher- librarian. Prior to that I taught 5th and 6th
 grades at MTS, and substitute taught grades K-12 in Tumwater schools when my two daughters
were attending THE and TMS. Originally I intended to teach Kindergarten, and received my
Education Degree from the University of Michigan with a major
 in Early Childhood. Later I
earned my Learning Resources Endorsement and in 2011 achieved National Board Certification for Library
Media.
     
Tumwater teachers inspired both my daughters towards their career pathways- my oldest
daughter was encouraged  by her science teachers at TMS and my younger daughter's art
teachers at TMS and BHHS were a huge influence and support system, too. I feel fortunate
to teach in Tumwater and in particular to be part of the PGS staff.
       Traveling with my family is my favorite pastime, along with reading (of course!), working on
our very old house and long walks/hikes or kickboxing and dancing.
