I'm currently serving as a media specialist for seven elementary schools in Waukesha and Waukesha's eAchieve online school. I've been a media specialist since 2001. I've been teaching for a total 31 years, most of those years in Waukesha, though I've worked in Pewaukee and Sussex as well. I've also been a classroom teacher, tech integrator and math specialist. I've written elementary curriculum for all core subjects as well as environmental education, technology and information education and digital citizenship. My current professional passions include diversity in library collections and evangelizing for increased library media specialist services in Waukesha elementary schools. I love to scrapbook and hike and be with my cats!
