My name is Mrs. Jessica and I am so happy to be here! I worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Donaldson Special Needs Preschool for the last 6 years and this year have been given the opportunity to teach it.  I enjoy working with Preschoolers and being part of their early childhood education.  Helping them prepare for a successful and positive elementary experience while watching them grow not only academically, but socially, emotionally and physically as well, is why I love working in the classroom. 

I was born and raised in Alaska.  I moved to Tucson in 2013 with my husband and two children, just before my oldest started Kindergarten.  Both of my children attended Donaldson and Cross and my oldest is now attending CDO.  When I am not working I enjoy getting outdoors, crafting, cooking and spending time with my family and our dog Buddy
