Welcome to my professional blog. I set this up as part of my MA in Reading Education program at the University of South Florida. In 2018, I graduated from Florida State University with an MS in Information. My ultimate goal is to work as a Media Specialist in a school library. Having both degrees will add to my knowledge about reading skills and allow me to help more students.
From 2008 to 2018, I volunteered in an elementary school library. In 2016, I became a substitute teacher for the library and the classroom. For a year, in 2019, I worked part time as a Children's Librarian in a local public library.
When I manage to get some free time, I spend it with my two children (Katie - 20 and Max - 16) or my fur babies (Kitty - Skye, and Golden Doodle - Macey). I'm an avid reader and I enjoy writing informal reviews. My reading tastes are eclectic, ranging from children's and YA to adult books, and from horror, fantasy and sci-fi to realistic fiction.
