About Me

Hello World!

This ePortfolio is the work I have created while in the Masters of Library Information and Sciences Program (MLIS) at Old Dominion University.  It is currently a work in progress as I have just begun!

Life has taken me down many paths, and never would I have told you that I would be here in graduate school in a MLIS program.  C. G. Jung’s words, “what you resist, persists” came to me and it seems to encapsulate my educational journey.

I came from a family of educators, and never did I imagine myself becoming a teacher.  Actually, I unexpectedly entered the education field via the middle school library.  I was working as a Library Media Assistant (LMA) when a position for a Spanish teacher became available.  I went to my principal at the time, and said I’d like to teach Spanish.  From there, I became a licensed World Languages K-12 teacher.  I taught middle school Spanish for three years and then moved to high school for one year.  I moved from Colorado to Virginia and ended up in a middle school library once again as LMA.  Now I am going back to school to become a school librarian.  I need to surrender to the possibilities and go where life takes me.  I hope our paths will cross in the most unexpected places.
