My name is Jennifer Haakenson (she/her). I am excited to work at the Eckstein Middle School library this year with the head librarian, Erin Sterling, serving the Eckstein community of educators and students. My background is in K-8 education, and I hold a Washington State Teaching Certificate. I have worked as a lead teacher and as a specialist in various schools around the King and Snohomish Counties in Washington.

 

At the University of Washington, I am studying Library and Information Science at the ischool, and I intend to graduate with an MLIS degree in 2022. My goal is to take my education and my fieldwork experience, as well as an endorsement in library and media, and I plan to be a teacher-librarian. Thank you for your support and for joining me in my journey on this website!
