She also holds endorsements in English As a Second Language as well as in the area of Gifted and Talented education.

As all of this education is essential to understanding the techniques and strategies that help to connect and teach students in the most successful way, the experience and relationship building she prides herself on, is really what makes this educator most qualified. Jennifer has worked with all levels of learners, ie: those with ADHD, LD, as well as those on the gifted or high achiever end of their learning. In her last position, she was the head of the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) committee, enabling her to continually keep up with the latest changes and trends with our youth and in our world. She strives to entertain, while stimulating students’ learning.  She shows enthusiasm, is flexible, and expressive. Students with whom she works, feel inspired, welcome, challenged, and engaged. Jennifer is a teacher who believes in educating the whole child, seeking out his or her strengths and interests, not just the areas needing improvement. She connects with children and makes them feel heard and important. She would be an asset in any learning environment.
