Jessica Ammons

I received a B.A. in Education Studies from Berea College where I also earned my Kentucky Teacher Certification for Elementary School (P-5). I received my Master's Degree in Library and Information Science with a specialization in School Media from Syracuse University as well as my School Library Media Certification (K-12).  

I have been working in education and libraries since I was in high school. I worked at the Hutchins Library circulation desk during my undergraduate studies, where I also oversaw the children's collection and a story time program. While attending Syracuse University, I worked as a graduate assistant in the Center for Digital Literacy and the iSchool recruitment office. After earning my degree, I worked for many years as the School Library Media Coordinator at an elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, where I managed the library program and taught valuable information literacy skills to students.
