Alyssa is living her life-long dream of becoming a children's librarian, fueled by a passion for reading, children's literature, and inspiring a love of books in others. She is married and has two children who attended Guardian Lutheran School, Natalie and Noah. Alyssa knows that God gave her the opportunity to do what she loves, and she feels blessed to be able to pass along her excitement to the students.  She strives to know every child and their specific interests so she can place the perfect book in their hands. "This school is an amazing place to be an educator. My favorite part of the day is when I do read-alouds for each class, even the older kids. A student gets a look in their eyes when they really connect with a book - and that can be the very spark that ignites a lifetime love of reading."
