Dr. Jennifer Emberton is a graduate from Western Kentucky University and Morehead State University. She began her career in technology at eighteen, working for local companies in Bowling Green, Kentucky; for the next ten years she grew in sales, programing, technology, and management. After her oldest son started school, his bilateral hearing loss deterred him from learning opportunities. Through this struggle, Dr. Emberton gave up her previous training to focus on learning more about helping her son. In 2012 she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Middle Grades education, followed two years later by a masters degree in Library Media with an additional certification in Educational Technology. As her son graduated from high school, she finished her EdD in hopes of helping others with workforce readiness in our community.
