Hello! My name is Jessica Mills, and I have been heading up the Dapplegray Library since the fall of 2018. I am a native Californian and grew up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. It has been wonderful to have the opportunity to serve the community that nurtured me! Before coming to Dapplegray, I taught early intervention pre-school, middle school English and drama, and high school drama, served in a number of capacities for a non-profit youth theater company, and I worked as a theatrical scenic designer, painter, and prop artist. In addition, I am a certified California Naturalist. I am a passionate believer in the transformative power of libraries, and I love having the chance to share that with students and staff at Dapplegray. When I’m not at the Dapplegray library, you might find me exploring nature, at a theater performance, perfecting some new vegan recipes, or curled up with a good book.
