Hi I am Jess! 

Kids call me Ms. Jess.

I am so excited to be back at Fireside again this year! I have been teaching preschool for over 15 years, and this will be my fourth year teaching Enrichment in the district. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of each child's growth and learning journey. Watching children discover the world through their eyes is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and it's a big reason why I love teaching.

I look forward to getting to know all of the children and their families and partnering with you throughout the school year.

When I'm not at school, you'll usually find me around town spending time with my three children: Lylah, who is almost 15 and a Sophomore at Monarch High School; Jack, who is 12 and a seventh grader at LMS; and my youngest, Grace, who is 2 years old. We love being part of this community, and I can't wait for a wonderful year together!

I’m so excited to begin my fourth year at Fireside as part of the Preschool Enrichment Team! As both a teacher and a proud parent of four, I believe strong connections between home and school help children feel secure, confident, and excited to learn.

With experience teaching children ages 3–12 in Japan, I love creating joyful, engaging experiences that spark curiosity. I’m also excited to share Japanese culture through crafts, cooking, and calligraphy while celebrating the diversity around us.

I look forward to getting to know each child and family and making this a fun, joyful, and memorable year together!
