Jennifer went to the University of Virginia where she earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She taught students with emotional disabilities in Fairfax County, VA, where she taught seventh grade at Burke Center, a public day school in Burke, VA., and launched a satellite program for students with emotional disabilities at Oak Hill Elementary School in Herndon, VA. Jennifer also held the role of Director of Education at Lafayette School & Treatment Center in Charlottesville, Virginia prior to joining the Keswick School community in 2015.

“I was ready to return to full-time employment after being a stay-at-home mom to my three children for several years. I knew that I wanted to be a part of the TKS community on the day I visited for the first time and observed staff and students treating each other with mutual kindness and respect, openly supporting one another across campus. As a parent, I have seen the impact a skilled and dedicated teacher has on a student and his family. As an educator, I am honored to be a part of this community that believes in our students and works tirelessly support their success.”

Outside of TKS, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, and TKS facility dog, Nitro.
