She understands that every child is different and takes the time to help each student in ways that fit their individual needs. Jennifer is patient, compassionate and truly dedicated to the children she works with.

She even creates special lunch days so she can spend extra time with her students, helping them feel included, valued and supported.

Her care and commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of her students every day.
