This is my first year as a Librarian here at OLW, but not my first year as an OLW employee. Between 2017 and 2019, I worked as an early childhood aide for two years in one of the PK-4 classrooms, though I feel as if I never left the Our Lady of the Wayside school and parish. I attended OLW preschool through eighth grade and have been a parishioner all my life. I am a proud alumna of the school and devote many hours volunteering at the school and parish because I believe it is the best place to be! I currently have three children that also attend OLW. Prior to coming to OLW, I taught at Greenbrier Elementary School in District 25 for ten years. I spent seven of those years teaching fifth grade. I am so excited to be back in the classroom and take my job as the new librarian as such an honor. My goals are for the students of OLW to love coming to the library, checking out a variety of literature, and becoming lifelong readers!
