Hello, I’m Jess!

I’m an educator with 16 years of experience specializing in high school English and film studies, with a dual certification as a media center specialist. I freelance as a bartender at special events and travel as often as possible in my spare time.

Towson University, June 2024 Post-Graduate Certificate in Library Media Studies

Goucher College, May 2010, M.Ed. in School Improvement Leadership, Administrator I Certificate

I believe in creating lessons that offer multiple means of engagement through differentiation of content, process, and product and thorough scaffolding to support struggling learners.

I work hard to establish an inclusive, quality learning environment, to build strong relationships with students to better understand their needs and learning preferences, and to deliver lessons that engage students, promote collaboration, and inspire sustained inquiry.
