My passion for literature prompted me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Literary Studies from the University of Texas, Dallas. When considering a career, I wanted to work in a field that combined my love of learning and literature with helping people. Being a teacher-librarian is a natural choice! I received my MLS degree from the University of North Texas in May 2019. After twelve years of teaching English and Humanities at Vines High School, I accepted the position as librarian at McMillen High School this past summer. I am thrilled to be here, helping students and teachers with their information needs! In addition, I am also the Social Emotional Learning facilitator for the McMillen campus.  My goal is to help students, teachers, and the community with social, emotional, and academic skills that will provide support and encouragement on the path to success.
