I have worked in education for 18 years. I taught second grade for 10 years. When teaching at the elementary level I loved using digital resources and hands on activities. For the past 8 years I have worked as a media coordinator/instructional technology facilitator at a middle school. I live in Taylorsville, NC with my husband, daughter and miniature schnauzer. I received my bachelor degree in elementary education from Mars Hill College near Asheville, NC. I received both of my graduate degrees (educational media and library science) from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC.
