I am so excited to serve as the librarian of West Elementary.  I graduated from Samford University in 2001 and earned my Master's in Educational Media from the University of South Alabama.  I love to spend time with my family, run, read, and spend time outside.

    • To inquire, think critically, identify problems, and develop strategies for problem solving
    • To demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to inclusiveness and respect for diversity in the learning community
    • To work effectively with others to broaden perspectives and work toward common goals
    • To make meaning for oneself and others by collecting, organizing, and sharing resources of personal relevance
    • To discover and innovate in a growth mindset developed through experience and reflection
    • Demonstrate safe, legal, and ethical creating and sharing of knowledge products independently while engaging in a community of practice and an interconnected world.
