Q&A with Jennifer

At JWU, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You鈥檙e not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply 鈥 you鈥檙e going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.

I started working in a restaurant as soon as I was old enough and fell in love with the industry from the first day.

What Is Your Favorite Teaching Moment?

Seeing the first group of students I taught in 2005 walk across the graduation stage to receive their A.S degree in 2007.

What Advice Do You Have For Incoming Freshmen?

Keep an open mind, make friends and make the most of every opportunity.
