I am a many year Media Specialist/Teacher in Union County, NC. I have lived in many places both within the US and overseas. I encourage, guide, welcome and teach to all in the schools I have been in. I feel that the world of books is one that can encompass and allow all to feel welcome and lose themselves in.
I look for ways forour students to see themselves not only in the books but also in the world they live in.
I look forward to meeting and networking with you all to broaden all of our lives.
