About Jennifer

I like working with kids because it's a symbiotic relationship built upon all that makes life tremendous. It is a big responsibility and a magnificent gift to be a small part in a young person's growth. I started working with kids professionally nine years ago. Stand out experiences include my three year service through AmeriCorps where I taught kindergartners and first graders literacy in after school programs, working at a summer Camp for transgender teens before I came out as trans, and aiding a disabled middle school student through her 6th and 7th grade years. One thing you should know about me is that I continue to take regular COVID precautions. As an immunocompromised person--and as a person who wants to show up for their community--I aim to minimize COVIDs exposure as much as possible--especially for the families and kids I work with. My skills include compassionate presence and empathy, demonstrating and helping develop me a growth mindset, and creative thinking
