Jennifer has 10 years of high school teaching experience, in addition to 10 years of private tutoring and many years of teaching Religious Education. These experiences drive Jennifer’s efforts to put Christ’s words into action to “love one another as I have loved you” through her work with Shelter Academy.  Kurt and Jennifer have three children who are the highlight of their life. In addition to Shelter Academy of Light, Jennifer dedicates her time to family, church, and healthy living.
