I am the high school librarian at Seminole High School in Seminole, Texas. I graduated from Texas Woman's University in 2016 with my Masters of Library Information Science degree. I am a writer first and a reader second and love all things technology. But my greatest love is for the students. I enjoy connecting with them and assisting in their quest for higher learning. Relationships are key. I believe in capturing a kid's heart first then engaging his/her mind.

ABOUT ME

Family

I have been married since 1986 to Kent Jackson. He is a graduate of Lubbock Christian University (1986). He is a high school head football coach and athletic director. Coaching stents include: Roby, Odessa, Olney, Sweetwater, Frisco, Lubbock and Seminole, Texas.

Our younger son Randall has a degree in Humanities from Lubbock Christian University (2018). He is a owner and barista at Monomyth Coffee in Lubbock, Texas and participated in the Barista Championships 2017. He is married to Addie.

1993-2001

I spent 8 years as a stay-at-home mom. During that time I wrote a book called Poems, Prayers and Peanut Butter: A Year of Encouragement for Coaches' Wives; I was often a speaker at Women's events; and spent 3 years on the board for the Olney Chamber of Commerce. For our church, I taught Ladies' Bible Class and put together the church bulletin each week.

Presently

I am constantly writing. I have a book in the works with the working title Wilder Bandicoots; and I have a play almost complete about Abraham Lincoln. There is also a book of poetry that grows and changes almost every day. Someday these projects will be finished and then I will begin new ones.

Most recently, I have become a permaculture gardener and beekeeper! Stay tuned for details of this new adventure....
