Bio

I have been the middle school/ high school librarian at Peoples Academy Middle Level and High School since 2013. My passions lie in reading, social media, and managing a tween and teen friendly school library. I had the distinct privilege of being an ALA Emerging Leader in 2017. I currently serve on ALA Council as a Councilor at Large, as a Regional Representative on the Vermont School Library Association  board, and serve as Chair of the Green Mountain Book Award committee, Vermont’s teen  choice book award. I am also excited to be part of VSLA’s Mentoring Matters grant as a Regional Coordinator and Mentor. Finally, most recently, I have accepted the role of Social Media Co-Chair for the 2021 AASL Conference. I feel truly grateful for being part of this wonderful profession.
