I am the Library Media and Technology Specialist at La Follette High School in Madison. Prior to my current role, I was a middle school and 4th grade classroom teacher in Illinois and the Verona Area School District as well as a K-5 librarian in Verona. This diverse range of experience has provided me with a unique understanding of student needs across the entire K-12 spectrum. One of my most significant accomplishments in my 5.5 years at La Follette has been leading the referendum funded renovation of the school library. The project, which took approximately a year and a half to complete, transformed the library into a modern, dynamic space that fosters collaboration, creativity, and a love of reading.
