Praise for Jennifer
“Jennifer Abrams truly is all that! I’m grateful to be in California near her hometown. I attended two workshops where she was the keynote speaker: first at the County Education office – Women in Leadership session, and then at my school district’s leadership training as we dived into Stretching Our Learning Edges. I’m reflecting on my impact as an educational leader, and I’m feeling inspired to do more!”
