Jenna lives, breathes, and dreams all things computer science. She fell into the subject by accident when she joined the cross country team her freshman year in high school and her coach was the school’s CS teacher. Ever since then, Jenna has had a unique career path having worked in the industry as a software developer, solution architect and consultant, as a high school computer science and math teacher, and for the last 9 years at computer science education nonprofits.
As the Director of Educator Success at Nextech, Jenna makes it her personal mission to make every K-12 teacher in the state of Indiana’s lives just slightly easier. She prides herself on vetting materials while curating the best-in-class options for every gradeband and need throughout the state. When materials don’t exist, she works to find viable solutions or create her own for teachers to use to help them bring high-quality computer science to their students.
Jenna’s passion for all things computer science is palpable and contagious. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve things for CS teachers, don’t hesitate to reach out as Jenna is always willing to lend an ear and ideate on new possibilities!
