  After more than 10 years in the corporate world, I've decided to make a switch to education and pursue my lifelong dream of being a librarian! I am currently the librarian for a school serving 3K to 8th grade students, where I manage all aspects of the library including circulation development & planning as well as teaching & working with students to inspire a lifelong passion for reading. I recently oversaw our library renovation from the ground up. I also serve as the marketing specialist for our school, handling social media, writing weekly newsletters, and creating many of our marketing materials & branding. I also create & execute our broader strategy for enrollment, communications, and marketing, in addition to my role as librarian. Most recently I directed the redesign, implementation & launch of our brand new school website.
