Jennifer (Jenn) Allen has a BA in Education, an English Language Learner Credential, a certificate in Environmental Education, and an MA in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction. Jenn was a public-school elementary teacher in Arizona, worked at an Environmental Education School in the Pacific Northwest, and has been a middle and high-school science teacher in Independent Schools in Los Angeles. She is the author of several articles, including “Brave with Braids: Empowering Young Female Voices through Environmental Education.”  In her letter to us, she wrote, “Your school calls to me through your Core Science-Humanities curriculum, your blend of indoor and outdoor learning, and of course, the beautiful natural setting. As I browse your website for the hundredth time, I cannot help but feel as if my path has led me to the entry way of Manzanita.” We are thrilled to welcome Jenn to Manzanita as a teacher in our Middle School program.
