I'm super excited to present Canva in a non-traditional way at this year's DKG-Texas State Organization convention. I love graphic design. I can't wait to see who will join me with their ideas, what they will create, and how amazing they'll feel to walk more confidently in graphic design.🤩

I was honored to receive Region One's invitation to celebrate the inaugural Innovative Librarian's luncheon. The District 4 Executive Board was invited because 2 of our officers were recognized. I'm so proud of each of them & so lucky to have them serve The Texas Library Association in our district.
