My name is Jen and I am thrilled and honored to be entering my 6th year as a member of the High Tech community. I was an Apprentice Teacher at HTeCV in 2018 but I have been working with young learners in education since 2013. Before High Tech, I earned my B.S. in Family Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and spent a couple years teaching the English language abroad. I was drawn to High Tech for their Master’s of Education program. I was excited about the opportunities the program provided to study Project Based Learning and equity in education more deeply. As an educator, I value inquiry, self-expression and community connection. I believe in engaging students to be collaborators in their own learning and I cannot wait to see what we accomplish this year!
