About me
I have been in education for over 14 years. I grew up in the Midwest and then moved to Arizona for 10 years before moving to the magical state of California. I am a mom to an incredible 7-year-old girl and two furry dachshunds. I love spending time near water. The beach is my favorite place to read and I love to be in Maui, Tahoe, or Aptos. I LOVE talking about books and ways to get kids excited about books. I would love to talk about high interest reads, thoughts on upcoming Caldecott and Newbery contenders, fun ways to build and enhance a culture of reading at schools, and anything that involves reading.
