My name is Jennifer Palmer. My Education/Professional background: I have 3
bachelor's degrees from Ohio State University in English, German and Women's
Studies.
I went on to teach Head Start in Columbus for 3 years. The Head Start
program I worked with partnered with Franklin county MRDD -- the Head Start
children were the peer models for students with special needs. This gave me
experience this working with children of diverse backgrounds.
I finished my Master's thesis in the summer of 2006 at the Ohio State
University. My topic of study was "Literary Discussion Contexts."
In college I had two experiences traveling abroad. One summer I lived in
Dresden, Germany and attended the university there. I also studied in the
Netherlands for a summer and lived in Germany for a year- I attended the
University of Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany. I am still somewhat fluent in
German today and I can speak a little Dutch.
I like to travel, hike, garden, and read! I also love to camp. My husband I
have camped in Michigan, the Smokey Mountains, Colorado, the Blue Ridge
Mountains, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. My most recent trip
was to live and work on a farm in Vermont. I am married and have a son named
Collin.
