About My Work
My work is grounded in high expectations, clear instruction, and strong relationships with students and teachers. As a Library Media Specialist, I focus on creating learning experiences that help students build confidence as readers, researchers, and thinkers.
The Library and Innovation Center is designed as an instructional space. Students come here to read, ask questions, explore ideas, and learn how to use information responsibly. Instruction is intentional and connected to classroom learning. I collaborate closely with teachers to design lessons that support curriculum goals while giving students space to think, revise, and grow.
The work includes literacy instruction, research skills, digital citizenship, and design-based learning connected to classroom goals.Whether students are reading independently, working through a research process, or developing an idea in the Innovation Center, the focus remains on thinking, clarity, and purpose. Tools and resources are selected to support learning, not to distract from it.
I bring consistency, preparation, and follow-through to my work. Colleagues know me as steady and dependable. Students know the library as a place where expectations are clear, support is available, and their ideas are taken seriously.
I am grateful to do this work, and I carry that gratitude to every student who walks through our doors.
My Why
Some of the most meaningful moments in my work happen quietly. A student finishes a book they did not think they could read. A group figures out how to revise an idea instead of abandoning it. A student who usually stays on the edges begins to participate.
I care deeply about this work because access matters. Students deserve learning spaces that are welcoming, structured, and built with their needs in mind. When a library is thoughtfully designed and consistently supported, it becomes a place where students feel capable and willing to try.
I am grateful to do this work and to work alongside students and teachers every day. That responsibility matters to me, and I carry it with intention.
