I began working as the California K-8 librarian in September of 1998.  Prior to my work at California, I was the librarian at a Brownsville Area School District library for four years.  This is my 10th year at California and I have served 9 of those years as the librarian.  In the 2002-03 school year I taught kindergarten, but returned to the library the following year. I received my teaching degree at California University of PA and I became a certified school librarian after studying at West Virginia University.
