I am currently working towards my MED in Technology and Library Science.  I received my BA in Sociology from UNT in 2007 and immediately became a certified teacher.  I taught 2nd grade for 6 years in Dallas ISD and decided to be a stay at home mom soon after my second child was born. I have 2, full of energy boys, ages 5 and 3.  I currently work at their preschool during the school year.  I've always had a passion for teaching and I'm ready to take what I feel like is the next step in my career journey.  I'm excited to learn even more about technology integration and library science.
