I am an avid supporter of those with mental disabilities and I encourage my students to be their unique selves. I am allergic to anything that has fur, so I have a Quaker parrot and two parakeets. I have sported all ranges of hairstyles, ride a 3-wheel Spyder motorcycle, play a purple baritone saxophone in the Murray Concert Band, and dissect my ice cream sandwiches and chocolate bars. The library is where I feel most at home. This is my dream job; I love collecting books and sharing their knowledge and use with others.
