The laughter of children is one of the most magical things in the world. Like sleep for Shakespeare, it soothes the mind and knits the raveled sleave of care. Being a part of the process of teaching and learning children and adults is much like watching an imaginary character come to life to perform a lifelong story.  It is a phenomenal event and does not happen overnight. The end result is so worth waiting for! 

Awards: Elected by my peers, I served as president of the Virginia Educational Media Association. As support personnel, I was a project thesis director for educators receiving higher education degrees. I was selected as building level library media specialist of the year. I was also an adjunct professor for various colleges and universities in Southwest Virginia.

Hobby/Fun Fact: I Joined my high school band to avoid physical education in high school! Later in life, I hiked the Grand Canyon’s South Kaibab to Phantom Ranch (down) and Bright Angel (up). I am committed to walking 10,000+ daily, rain or shine!
