Meet Our Residency Supervisors
Teaching Residents and their Mentor Teachers are paired with a Residency Supervisor who supervises the residency experience, thus forming what we call a "triad."

Jennifer lives in New York City, on the Upper West Side, and attended University of Rochester, where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology. Her first passion has been to develop a love of learning and understanding of science for children. She incorporated this into her first teaching position at an International Baccalaureate Charter School in Cape Cod, Massachusetts where she began teaching Algebra and Biology, as well as running a girls field hockey program and created a girls lacrosse program for the school. With the opportunity to lead in a community based environment, she then moved to work for six years at a boarding school in Westchester, New York as a science educator, also serving as a head coach for the field hockey and girls lacrosse teams and a dorm parent. Being a lifelong learner herself she decided to then pursue a Masters Degree at Teachers College at Columbia in Supervision in Science Education. Following the completion of her degree at Teachers College, she returned to the classroom and collaborated with AP Biology Teachers across the country to lead professional development for science educators. At Columbia Teachers College her work has included responsibilities as a supervisor and mentor for the Science Education Pre-Service Cohort as well as the Peace Corps Fellows Program and Teaching Residents at Teachers College (TR@TC). In this capacity, Jennifer is able to share her passion for science education, community, and norms for collaboration working with fellow science educators as a mentor and colleague.
