I LOVE BEING IN THE LIBRARY!! Before I became a librarian, however, I was a teacher. I have spent most of my teaching career in Onslow County, teaching 3rd grade at Richlands Elementary and 1st grade at Meadow View Elementary. I am originally from a small town near Asheville, NC. While living in Western North Carolina, I graduated form Lees McRae College with Bachelors in Elementary Education and then went on to Appalachian State University where I graduated with my Masters in Library Science. We moved to Jacksonville, NC because my husband, a US Marine, was stationed at Camp Lejeune. Together, we have two wonderfully rotten boys, a HUGE dog named Major, and a Siamese cat named Sven. This is my second year at Blue Creek Elementary, and I am very excited to be here again this year and see some familiar, as well as new, faces! It is going to be a great year!!
