I am the library media specialist for the Echo Valley Community School District, serving both the Orange Center Campus and Washington Village Campus. I have served as school librarian for the towns of Orange and Washington for six years.  I received my undergraduate degree from Wellesley College and my graduate degree in Library and Information Science from Syracuse University.  Before becoming a librarian, I taught elementary math for two years and preschool for eight years.  I am a member of the Red Clover Award committee, which nominates ten picture books to be voted on by kindergarten through fourth grade students in the state of Vermont each year.  My passions as a librarian include Banned and Challenged Book week, diversity in picture books, graphic novels, and Hour of Code.
