I have been working at Julia Goldstein for the past 15 years. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Arts from Mizzou in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education from UMSL. I also attended Webster University to obtain knowledge regarding the Reggio Emilio approach being adopted by our school. I was awarded the district “Teacher of the Year” award in 2012-2013, have been awarded numerous grants for classroom supplies, and have built many community partnerships with local businesses during my tenure at JG. In my personal life, I have a husband, Quinton, and two children, Jossleyn (14) and Maxwell (2). In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, taking all the naps, and exploring new places, domestically and internationally.

My name is Jessica Job. I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Southeast Missouri University and I have obtained a Masters' Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Certificate of Pedagogical Coordination in the Reggio Emilia Approach from Webster University. I have been in the Early Childhood field for 14 years. I have taught preschool, two year olds, and infant/toddlers. I have also held the role as a Pedagogista and worked in the administrative role at private early childhood schools. I recently moved to St Louis 7 years ago from Cape Girardeau. I enjoy travel, food, wine, and spending time with my family. I have taken some time these last few years to work as a chef at Wilderness Lodge in Lesterville MO. I am very excited about the for the new year and enjoy my place as part of an amazing team.
