I currently split my time as librarian with George Washington High School.

Working on a large project, need help using the databases, or accessing your DPS gmail account? Please come ask me. I would be glad to help. || The Thomas Jefferson Library has been recognized by the state of Colorado as a Highly Effective School Library. Please stop in to say hello, check out books, or use the library computers. Need help? Just ask. I am always willing to help. The library sponsors a variety of activities throughout the school year, such as: Book Club, Book to Movie Nights, Tech Slams, Tech Workshops, and a Chess Tournament. Visit the Thomas Jefferson Library Webpage for current library news, access to the Lion Catalog, Databases, eBooks, and to find reviews on a variety of books.

 * DPS Review Crew Committee: ** This is my fifth year as a member of the Review Crew. "The Denver Public Schools Review Committee is comprised of a cross-section of Library Media Specialists representing elementary, middle and high schools. The purpose of the committee is to review library materials for curricular value and relevance, assisting school Library Media Specialists in the selection of current, relevant material for school collections". Involvement in the Review Crew has been rewarding, as I have had the opportunity to read a wide variety of materials and collaborate with other district librarians.

 * Life Before TJ: ** I have been in education for 19 years with half of that spent as a librarian. I have lived in Colorado since 2008. Before moving to Colorado, I taught for 12 years in elementary schools on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Outside of TJ, I enjoy reading, camping, exploring Colorado, and visiting family.
