I am so excited to be starting my 9th year here at Trailside, and my 10th year with Loudoun county.  I have been at Trailside since we opened and have helped our library evolve over the years into an amazing space of learning, fun and collaboration.  I have been lucky enough to be involved with our BATTLE OF THE BOOKS teams every year since I have been here and enjoy the competition tremendously. I also took over the Yearbook last year and will be doing that again this year.  I am very excited about moving up to 8th grade for Compass. It will be my 2nd time with that grade and I am really looking forward to it!

I was born and raised in Mesa, AZ and have lived in Harpers Ferry for the last 23 years with my husband, Brent, and our dog Louie.  Our son, Will, is a sophomore at Frostburg State University and a pitcher on the baseball team. My daughter Elizabeth lives near us and serves on the City Council of Charles Town.  I love going to baseball games, reading, gardening and am looking forward to seeing my son play ball this fall and spring.  I have become a fan of listening to books as well, which really surprised me!  I enjoy sitting on my deck watching and listening to all the birds and various wildlife I have in my yard.  I am looking forward to continuing to enlighten our students with all the fantastic resources our wonderful library has to offer!
