Career Goal

To obtain a position in a school media center where I can provide students

with personal growth in reading for pleasure while at the same time
collaborate with teachers to develop information literacy skills. My goal is to
have an environment that is developed for the 21st Century Learner to
explore critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration among peers
while maintaining the freedom to grow as an individual.
