Her expertise are incorporating technology into lessons by developing electronic resources for use in the classroom. She has thoroughly enriched her students educational experience by designing a library website with links and information, of which she has received awards for her world-wide recognition of the website.

In her words:

“To be the heart and hub of the school, the school community and stakeholders must view the school media center as vital – where there are an abundance of current, quality resources to teach each of the standards, interesting literature for students to escape into, a welcoming environment in which to think, absorb and learn and a qualified school library media specialist to tie it all together and be the catalyst for higher-level thinking and increased student achievement. I am proud to say that this reflects the school library at Chaffee Trail” (Miller 1)
