Gluck EDU Consulting
Hello,
I'm Jessica!I am a traveling Renaissance type of person. I know that for some getting on an airplane let alone traveling more than half way around the world maybe the scariest thing you could imagine. However for others the fear of disappointing or overwhelmed emotions can be just as crippling. I get this! I too have had to find a way to manage teaching and personal life, manage finances, work through my emotions, and learn to listen actively to my body & mind; all this so I can better communicate with others and find my center. I am positive that if we get to talking it will be as if we were long lost friends sharing that favorite family meal on a patio celebrating into the wee hours of the night!

My Bio/Experience:
I graduated from University of Texas at Austin with a BA Theatre and Dance with a concentration in Theatre Management, and have a Masters of Liberal Studies with a concentration in English and Humanities from Southern Methodist University. I am finishing my 20th year in secondary education. I have taught various courses at the secondary level in Texas: Speech/Communications, HS English, MS & HS Theatre, HS Dance, and AVID, AP and IB courses. About 10 years ago I began to intentionally work on my own journey of balancing my own teaching/work life and personal life because I became addicted to stress and created a very burnt out lifestyle for myself. In the last 6 years, mental health has come to the forefront for me working with staff and students.
For the last three years I have been working to create health and wellness programing on campus for staff and students as an SEL expert and lead for our High School Campus, Jack E. Singley Academy in Irving TX (public school in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex). This is my fourth year at this school and 12 in the district. I started learning productivity practices and continued with life and health coaching certifications, working to complete 200/300 hour yoga and Children & Teens Yoga Certifications. I recently completed Rutgers' instructional SEL Certification program in December 2023. I will begin my principal/administrative education certification in fall 2024 and plan to follow up with getting my LPC for Clinical Counseling. I am excited about the opportunities this field can provide to help improve education and add to the much-needed skills for everyone in every field.
