I'm Jennifer Zimny, and I have been the TL at Ponderosa High School since the 2013-2014 school year. Previous to that, I was the drama teacher at Ponderosa for 9 years. While I loved the performing arts and my time spent there, I knew I couldn't stay in the profession forever due to the large amounts of time required to spend outside of the classroom. Therefore, I began to think about a shift in my career. Long story short, I quickly figured out that the library might be an excellent fit for me, and luckily, our school was about to have an opening for a librarian. I got my teaching credential in Library Media Services in 2014, while I was completing my first year of being the TL at Pondo. I absolutely love my job. It is the perfect fit for me and my family, including my two sweet daughters, Charlotte (2015) and Alice (2020). I have a deep passion for reading and all things technology. I've taught many district wide classes on a variety of subjects, including many on Google Apps for Education. I have also served as the Site Rep for the El Dorado Union High School District Faculty Association and WASC chair.
In my spare time, I enjoy the performing arts and love being in musicals when I have the time! I also can be found dripping sweat on my Peloton, whose name is Penelope the Peloton. |
