Jenny was born and raised in Germany but has been living in the US for a long time. She started tutoring kids when she was 16 and kept it up through her college education and after graduation until she joined the Learning Support Program at Santa Cruz Montessori in 2003. Her education includes BA's in Marine Biology, Psychology, and a Masters in Special Education, in addition to the AMS Elementary diploma. Jenny feels inspired by the Montessori mandate to "follow the child" and never tires of trying her best to help children reach their potential as human beings and learners.
