I graduated from UW-La Crosse in 2002 with a BS in Business / Accountancy. After a few years working in accounting, I returned to school for my Business Education licensure, and then proceeded to also work toward my Special Education and Reading Teacher licenses. After working in all three of these areas, I entered the Library Media Specialist program at UW-Whitewater while working as the District Library Media Specialist for the Bangor School District. After completing this program and my MS, I moved to the School District of La Crosse where I am currently the school librarian and high performance learning teacher at Spence Elementary School.
