Jennifer is an Assistant Principal and Research Lead at a school in Wakefield. She had the good fortune to grow up in Chapeltown, the vibrant artistic hub of Leeds, and has been shaped by her dual British-Caribbean heritage and a family of dynamic women. Coming from a low-income, single-parent household, Jennifer achieved a place to read English at Merton College, Oxford, and has since gone on to teach at a range of schools in West Yorkshire. She curates the widely-read blog, FunkyPedagogy.com, is the founder of The Reading List Project, and runs a widely popular CPD program for teachers and English departments. Whenever she is not spending time with her wonderful husband and two boys, Jennifer can be found reading a book.
