She recently completed her doctoral studies at the University of Missouri with a dissertation study entitled, “Secondary Literacy Teachers’ Use of a Twitter Chat Community for Voluntary Ongoing Professional Learning.” After three years as the Area 4 Coordinator for the ILA Teachers’ Choices Project, she recently became a National Co-Chair of this project. She is excited to share newly-published literature with classroom teachers and help them spread the love of reading to their own students. Her interests lie in literacy, technology, and ongoing teacher professional learning.
