She has been nominated for the 2025 Oklahoma Foundation Medal of Excellence in teaching. 
Jennifer is a third generation public school educator and knew she wanted to teach as a young child. She had amazing teachers growing up and hopes to empower her own students with a desire to learn and succeed.
