Mrs. Jennifer Crooks To All Instructors

Being a wife and mother is my most important and cherished role. With 26 years of marriage and three wonderful kids, life has been a rewarding adventure—both personally and professionally. Together, we've built and run a successful distribution business, proving that perseverance and teamwork are just as valuable at home as they are in business. My career has spanned an eclectic range of roles, from teaching private lessons and substitute teaching to managing a bookstore, working as a loan officer, and even serving as a symphony librarian. Every experience has shaped my perspective, strengthened my adaptability, and enriched my appreciation for lifelong learning.

If you know me, you know my favorite question is "why?"—a simple word that unlocks understanding, insight, and deeper connections. I’m a visual thinker, the kind of person who thrives with paper and pencil in hand, mapping out ideas, problem-solving, and bringing concepts to life. More often than not, you’ll find me tucked in a corner, quietly taking in everything, and observing the world.  Whether it’s running a business or enjoying the little moments, I embrace new challenges and meaningful connections with an open mind and a natural sense of wonder.
