I am a librarian, teacher, and media specialist with 26 years of experience in education.  Prior to coming to Antioch, I taught grades 3, 4, 5, and 6, worked as a curriculum coordinator, and served as a middle school media specialist for 5 years.  This is my 11th year at Antioch Elementary.  I have worked for UCPS since 2001.  

I have the best job in the world!  I love connecting kids with books they love to read and teaching them how to grow as readers, thinkers, and savvy digital citizens.  

I am married to my wonderful husband, Mark, and have two beautiful daughters:  Olivia (22) and Anna-Kathryn (16).  My favorite thing in the world to do is read, but I also love cooking, knitting, shopping, Starbucks coffee, chocolate and traveling anywhere (but especially to the mountains, beach, or China)!
