Bookie Who Will Give You a Cookie!
By: Christine Nguyen and Cindy Lim
With an avid love for all things superheroes, a growing collection of 72 pairs of Converses, and the supposed ability to fight at least six toddlers in a five minute time span, Suzanne Swain is a unique and welcome addition to our Bolsa Grande family. Ms. Swain attended Palm Beach School of the Arts High School at her hometown in Palm Beach, Florida. This artistic magnet school taught her the importance of creativity and taking challenges in her life. Leaving the comfort of her home in Palm Beach, Florida, Ms. Swain attended Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tennessee. There, she received her Bachelors degree in Elementary and Middle School Education, her Masters in Library Media, and Educational Specialists in Educational Technology. Back in Tennessee, Ms. Swain worked as a 7th and 8th grade English teacher for 7 years at Algood Middle School. During her job, she realized that she had grown to love books and the literary world in general; she then realized how much she wanted to become a librarian. “At my previous school, I was a big fish in a little pond and unfortunately, you run out of water. I think it’s better for me to start out here as a small fish in a big pond and see if I can make my way in the world.” |
