Jenn S.

Jenn (she/her) is a Master of Occupational Therapy student at the University of British Columbia. While completing her undergraduate degree in Cell Biology and Genetics, she realized that basic science research was not for her. Realizing that what she enjoyed most about her time at university was volunteering weekly at an inclusive preschool, she left working in research labs and has never looked back.

For the next 10 years, she worked at a small nonprofit society that focused on fostering inclusion, friendship, and play for all children. She has also worked as an educational assistant, where she had the privilege of learning alongside students as they discovered their strengths, passions, and unique learning styles. These experiences grew in Jenn a deep desire to see children embrace their unique strengths, be empowered in their learning, and be celebrated for who they are!
