Jennifer knew she wanted to be a teacher at a very young age. She would spend hours lining up her stuffed animals for school in her bedroom. In high school she fell in love with the stories of history and knew that she wanted to inspire other students and share those same stories. Teaching in both Orange County and Los Angeles Jennifer found her way to HTHNC and is proud to say that this is her 13th year at HTHNC and her 26th year as a teacher!! She graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in History, then attended Loyola Marymount for her teaching credential, finally earning her MA in American Studies at Pepperdine University. Born and raised in Orange County, Jennifer and her husband moved to San Diego many years ago to explore new adventures and loves living in North County. Passions include traveling all over the world; highlights have included traveling through Scandinavia and Russia, attending the Olympics in London, riding a camel to the pyramids in Egypt, climbing the Great Wall of China and a glacier in Iceland, attending Oktoberfest in Germany and recently, bungee swinging in New Zealand. The sights, sounds and smells of Bangkok and Singapore are new memories from her travels this summer. Her inspiration for her projects come from her passion Shakespeare and things British. Attending the theater, hosting parties and decorating for holidays, and watching movies/TV are a few of her favorite things, along with spending time with her family and friends. Jennifer looks forward to an amazing year, and getting to know each and every one of her students.
