I have been an elementary school teacher off and on for the last twenty five years. I have eighteen years of teaching experience. I have taught kindergarten through fourth grades, Special Education, and I have been an Early Intervention Program (EIP) teacher. I completed my undergraduate studies at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. I have taught in Texas, Ohio and Georgia. I have loved books and reading and children all of my life and my dream to become a media specialist has come true. I was hired to be the media specialist at a K-8 school in Savannah, GA in December 2014 and I am in my last semester of completing my M.Ed. at The University of West Georgia. This portfolio is the culmination of my dedication to helping children become successful, life long readers and learners in the 21st Century.
