Hello, I'm Jennifer. I have two major loves in this life, my beautiful three year old daughter, and my drop top Chevy :) I teach and tutor. In my free time, I paint, work out, and play roller derby.

I taught for 2 years within the Houston Independent School District then switched to ESL tutoring full time so that I could go abroad again. Recently I was teaching science for in Dallas ISD.
