Library

Welcome to our school library! My primary goal is to foster an engaging, library program where students and staff alike can collaborate and thrive. Throughout the school year, I design interactive activities, reading challenges, and special events to inspire a genuine lifelong passion for reading in every student.

Growing up right here in Dodge City, the school library was one of my favorite places. I aim to create a warm, welcoming space for our students and staff—helping each student discover the exact book that will spark their imagination and love for learning.

I have dedicated my entire educational career to the Dodge City School District. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Fort Hays State University, followed by a Master’s degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in English as a Second Language (ESL). Additionally, I hold a Library Media Specialist certification from Fort Hays State University, equipping me with the tools to support all students across diverse learning needs.

Outside of the school community, I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending quality time with my family—especially my wonderful grandchildren. I feel deeply privileged to share my passion for literature with the students at Central Elementary every day.
