Contact Me

I am a librarian, teacher, and media specialist with 23 years of experience in education. Prior to coming to Antioch, I have taught grades 3, 4, 5, and 6, worked as a curriculum coordinator, and served as a middle school media specialist for 5 years. I have worked for UCPS since 2001.
I have the best job in the world! I love connecting kids with books they love to read and teaching them how to grow as readers, thinkers, and savvy digital citizens.
I am married to my wonderful husband Mark, who is newly retired from teaching math, and have two beautiful daughters: Olivia (19) and Anna-Kathryn (13) . My favorite thing in the world to do is read but I also love cooking, knitting, shopping, Starbucks coffee, chocolate and traveling (especially to the mountains or China)!
