Rebecca Madsen, Media Specialist

Hi, my name is Rebecca Madsen and I am excited to be joining Huntley Hills as the Library Media Specialist! I am originally from Tallahassee, Florida but spent most of my time growing up in Lilburn, Ga. This is my sixteenth year teaching and my first year in DeKalb County. I started my teaching career as a kindergarten teacher and quickly found my passion was for children’s literature and encouraging students to read. I obtained my Masters of Education in Media with Media Specialist Certification and also my Educational Specialist in Instructional Technology from the University of West Georgia. For the past ten years, I have been a Library Media Specialist and I absolutely love the position. In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family riding bikes, kayaking, and going on walks with our 2-year old daughter Harper.
