Originally from a small town in Ohio, Jennie has been living and teaching in Bowling Green, Kentucky for 11 years. Jennie is the third of six children and found her love of teaching art to her talented little brothers and sisters. She is overcome with joy at the opportunity to move to Nashville, and work at Valor!
Jennie is a dedicated art teacher who is excited about the opportunity to learn, grow and lead. This upcoming year will be her 12 year of teaching art. Along with her love of teaching art she also enjoys creating herself! She currently explores watercolor, painting, pottery, sewing, and relish the experience of attending live concerts. She is a graduate from Ohio University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Art Education and holds a Masters Degree in Education from the University of the Cumberlands.
Teaching takes passion, and her passion is teaching, particularly art. Jennie is an artist, always exploring new mediums and methods of artistic expression that push the boundaries of her ability. As a teacher, she remains fixed on continual development as a professional educator and development of her students.
