About Me

Ms. Tess graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education from Southeast Missouri State University in 2014. She's spent the past decade working as a children's librarian at St. Charles City-County Library, St. Louis County Library, and Daniel Boone Regional Library. In 2022 she accepted a position as the West Middle School librarian in Columbia, MO.

After her first child was born in 2023, she decided to stay home and pursue her greatest passion-early childhood education and storytelling. Ms. Tess now brings stories and music to businesses, schools, and non-for-profits across Columbia, MO.
