My Professional Development


  • My Professional Philosophy: My professional philosophy contains my thoughts on librarianship as an act of service.
  • Professional Associations: I am currently affiliated with the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL). I attend the annual conference virtually and participate synchronously in webinar presentations. I also blog about the conference and many of my observations can be found in the Blog/Reflections section of this website.
  • Professional Goals: I aspire to become a full-faculty school librarian in an international school.
  • Learning Resources: Here you will find an extensive list of resources, Web2.0 applications and materials used to facilitate teaching in a classroom, library, or virtually via distance learning. Some of these educational resources are collaborative, and all have a free version available to educators. Please explore my resources with embedded content, links to the product, and examples of my work.
  • Publications, Presentations, Conferences: Here I have showcased a professional development seminar I led for faculty and staff at my K-12 international school on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Children's Literature.
