MS. JENNIFER MARTELLO

Jennifer brings many years of teaching experience, having worked with students from preschool through second grade. While this is her first year teaching robotics, she is excited to inspire students to think creatively, solve problems, work as a team, and discover that learning can be a fun adventure!

Jennifer grew up in a suburb of Chicago and, many moons ago, graduated from the University of Colorado. In 2022, she traded snowy winters for Southwest Florida sunshine and has loved calling Florida home ever since.

She is the proud mom of three wonderful sons in their 20s, who all live in Colorado. She looks forward to visiting them as often as she can. Family is at the heart of everything she does. Each year, her father spends about six months in Florida with her to escape the cold Midwest winters. She also comes from a wonderfully big family, with one older brother and four younger sisters, including a set of triplets, so life has always been full of laughter!

When she's not at school, Jennifer enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and dreaming up creative ideas for her classroom. Early in her career, she had the opportunity to teach English in Japan, an experience she still treasures today. She feels truly blessed that God has led her to the St. Ann family and looks forward to an exciting year of building, creating, learning, and growing alongside her students.
