Presentations
Jenny is an experienced, engaging public speaker and presenter who is sought out as a keynote speaker, trainer, and workshop leader by private and public schools, universities, and conference organizers. Her extensive background in both general education and special populations classrooms, along with years operating as an administrator, instructional coach, and trainer, has led to her being recognized as an expert in effective strategies for improving student interest and performance.
