We close our alumni spotlight series with the outstanding alumna Ms. Sonya Parker, a School Librarianship graduate from the class of 2016. Ms. Parker serves as the Director of Media and Technology Services for Halifax County Schools. She fondly remembers the storytelling course from her time in the program and notes that she still uses those skills today when reading aloud to her nieces and nephews. She encourages current students to stay connected with their peers, as they become an essential part of a professional
learning network. Ms. Parker is helping build a brand-new K‑8 school, where she oversees networking and technology and has also contributed to the design of the media center, a bright and inviting space located off a courtyard with an amphitheater. Although still under construction, she already knows it will be her favorite place in the building. Congratulations, Ms. Parker!
