I received my Associate's Degree from Suffolk County Community College in 2005 where I minored in Child Study.  I attended St. Joseph's College in Patchogue from 2005 until 2007.  Here, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and became certified to teach from grades birth through 6th grade.  In January 2009, I went on to complete my Master's Degree online through Clarion University in Pennsylvania.  I received a Masters in Library Science in December of 2010, where I am certified in adult and children's library services.  

I have worked at Islip Public Library since March of 2015.  There I am able to implement programs and reading clubs, as well as get an advance screening of all new books and ideas.  I am looking forward to working with your children this year and showing them that when it comes to reading, nothing is impossible.  I want them to view the library as a new world of learning, imagination, and fun.
