About Me:
My career began as a Middle School Language Arts teacher until I transitioned to elementary textbook publishing where I began matching local and state standards to textbooks as sales support documents---the best experience an educator could ever have! As I evolved through different areas of the company--Editorial, then the Corporate Library (after earning my MLS degree)---I continued to research literacy, read detailed studies, and disseminate that information to key professionals. After freelancing for a few years while I raised a family, I returned to the classroom to teach high school. Having been exposed to education from a variety of perspectives, I am embarking on a career as a school improvement specialist. Currently, I work with a group of professionals providing literacy research materials to schools.
