Q: Why did you choose to be a librarian?

A: I chose to be a librarian because I enjoy books and working with a wide variety of students from different grade levels.

Q: What is your favorite book?

A: In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking. I also enjoy attending art galleries, traveling, and reading obviously.

Q: How do you think this library impacts the school?

A: My plans for the next few years are to still be working here, and I hope to visit my son when he goes to college.

Q: What is the most challenging aspect of your job? 

A: Something that is challenging about my job is that I don’t have a specific department in the school, so sometimes I feel a bit isolated in the building.
