About Me
Hi! My name is Jenna Kaufman. As a California to Texas transplant (going on local, near 10 years), I bleed burnt orange and I'm proud to be a Texas Ex - a University of Texas at Austin graduate. I double majored in Applied Learning and Development (Elementary Education) and Communication Studies. I've spent the last 4 years in an Austin ISD public school 3rd grade classroom, cultivating strong relationships with my students and their families. I'm proud that many of these relationships will last for life, and it's been an honor having made such a large impact.
Developing my abilities to multitask and prioritize workloads has afforded me many transferable skills. Organizational skills come easily to me, as well as prioritization. As I transition from the education environment to something more corporate, I'm in the process of earning Google's Project Management Certification in order to better prepare. In addition to working with adults, I look forward to a career with greater work/life balance. As a self-proclaimed people person and team worker, I am eager to share my empathetic and passionate mindset with future colleagues!
At the end of the day, I believe my mission is to remember and to share with others that... you can't possibly do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that you can do. Having shared this message with nearly 100 students, I look forward to inspiring others to walk through life with that same mentality.
