I have dedicated 23 years to the field of education, serving as both a teacher and librarian. I have been enriched by the lives of students across five school divisions, teaching a diverse range of learners from elementary to college level. The library has always been one of my happy places, driven by a passion for reading and discovering new things.
A proud lifelong learner, I pursued advanced degrees as a reading specialist and in curriculum and instruction. This education, combined with a variety of teaching experiences, has greatly benefited my current role as a librarian.
In this role, I have transformed the library space to welcome students, creating engaging displays, front-facing books on shelves, and genrifying the fiction section. The addition of the IMPACT Studio has taken the library to the next level, integrating technology as a means to display learning, discover new interests, and invest in community outreach.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoys art, gardening, and DIY projects, finding creativity and relaxation in these pursuits.
