Greetings!

Hello, My Name Is Rebecca Walker

My husband and I live in Herndon, VA, which is in the DC metro area.  Our house, described by others as a money pit, consumes much of our energy and most of our disposable income.  I generally think of it as just not ready for primetime, but we do discourage visitors with young children for their own safety.  We share the construction zone with our American bulldog and two tabby cats, one of whom is parked next to me sleeping in her hair-chair at this moment.

I earned my BSBA at the University of South Carolina, where I majored in economics.  My first master’s degree was an MAT from Winthrop University, and most recently I earned an MA in American History at George Mason.  Up until the present year, I had spent 11 years teaching high school--primarily AP Economics and world history.  In thinking about professional longevity, what I really want to do is move beyond the classroom into a school media specialist position.  

This is my 5th term in the MLIS program at Wayne State.  I'm hoping to complete my course of study at the end of the summer.  This has not been made any easier by my having been eaten by a dog on my wedding anniversary, two days before Christmas.  I have been dealing with a left-handed life since then, but my broken right arm is coming along (or so the orthopaedic surgeon says).
