About the Teachers

Hello my name is Diona Jensen (I go by Mrs. Jensen). This is my 8th year with APS. I have taught Kindergarten through 5th grade in special education. This year I will be teaching K-3rd grade in special education. 

I was born and raised here in Albuquerque NM in the South Valley. I graduated from Rio Grande High School and then went to New Mexico Highlands University where I earned a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education and a Masters in Special Education. I also earned an associates degree in Youth Child and development from Central New Mexico. 

I have been married for 16 years to my wonderful husband and we have 3 amazing children, 1 girl and 2 boys. Our oldest is Angeline 17, Kenny 15, and Ezekiel 10. I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids. We love going to the lake and going camping. We like having movie nights, cooking, playing board games and video games.
