Ms. Jessup

I am thrilled to begin my first year of teaching in kindergarten at Ryan Elementary. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from the University of Colorado Boulder, along with an endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education. Over the past two years, Ryan has become a place that truly feels like home. I completed my practicum in kindergarten and my student teaching in third grade here at Ryan, and these experiences have deepened my passion for creating a joyful, engaging, and supportive classroom community.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved. I strive to create a classroom where every student knows they have a second home; a place where they belong, are celebrated for who they are, and are encouraged to grow both academically and personally.

Outside of the classroom, I love spending time at the beach back home in California, being outside with friends and family, and traveling the world, embracing new cultures, experiences, and perspectives. These adventures inspire my teaching and help me bring curiosity, wonder, and a global mindset into the classroom.

I could not be more excited to return to Ryan for a third year. There is no better place to begin my teaching career than in a community that has already given me so much support, connection, and joy. I look forward to partnering with students, families, and staff to make this a wonderful year of learning and growth.
