“Someone once said “those who can’t do, teach.” I have not found this to be true and it diminishes the incredible gift that teaching is. Teaching is a golden opportunity to learn, for yourself…and to integrate your knowledge in a way that makes it matter to both you and others. And students gave me back way more than art or anything else did quite frankly. I became a better person because I had to rise to the occasion to be worthy of my students. I owe a lot to them.” - Jen

Thank God, I found teaching (or it found me.) It is the only thing I ever did with my life that truly fit my personality. And I loved every school I ever worked in. Some were better than others of course, but the kids and the families were always spectacular. And inspiring young minds and hearts about certain subjects like great works of literature or American history and exploring ethics and justice together - was a dream. And we had so much fun! Creativity would burst through the seems in my classroom. And, of course, teaching acting, art and dance was incredible as well. These days I teach privately and support families who travel around the world with their children, which is incredibly rewarding. And my work with adults is also a form of teaching while I show them how to brand themselves and use the internet and social media to launch their careers to new heights. I find curating adult genius is the same exact thing as launching kids and teens. We all want to be seen, heard and celebrated and everyone is made perfect for their destiny. I’m just really good at seeing the gifts in others and that’s what I do for a living. I honor and encourage the greatness I see in front of me. - Jen
