Jennifer Gonzalez has an extensive background in teaching middle school language arts, with a combined experience of seven years in the greater D.C. area and southcentral Kentucky. In 2004, she earned her National Board Certification, showcasing her dedication to professional excellence. Following the birth of her first child, Jennifer made the decision to leave teaching and became a stay-at-home mom.

In 2008, Jennifer's expertise led her to be recruited by a local university, where she took on the role of teaching pre-service teachers. This experience ignited a newfound passion for preparing and supporting educators. Throughout her time in the classroom, the teachers' lounge failed to provide the emotional and intellectual support she sought, requiring significant effort to find like-minded individuals with whom she could share her thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, her inquiries were frequently met with sarcasm, leaving her discouraged.

Through her current platform, Jennifer aims to create a thriving community that addresses the void she experienced firsthand. Her vision is to establish a vibrant, encouraging, and stimulating network of teachers who support one another in their pursuit of excellence. Jennifer firmly believes that by transcending geographical limitations and connecting with one another, there are no boundaries to the remarkable achievements they can accomplish together.
