About Jenny




The Environment and Community Education helped me in my career by creating a pathway for me to learn my love for teaching students receiving Special Education services.  I learned the importance of helping students learn to speak and advocate as well!  It also helped me learn important data collection techniques as well as gain practice in implementing school gardens (which I still believe are a great component of any school).   Most importantly, it led me to a job I absolutely love and find intrinsically rewarding.  

Thesis: An exploration of the benefits of gardening on elementary school students’ mental and physical well-being and community
