Jen Johnson
Jen is originally from New Jersey… South Jersey. Just a 15 minute drive over the bridge to Philly! You might hear her “accent” when you talk to her. She moved to Breckenridge, Colorado in 2017 with her husband Bobby and dog Moose. (You’ll definitely see Moose around Sacramento Creek Ranch – begging for love!) They immediately knew they belonged in the mountains and that this was the place where they wanted to raise a family. They have been living in Placer Valley (Alma) since 2019.
When she’s not working, Jen stays busy playing outside and spending time with her family. She has a 6 year old daughter, Ziggy who attends HRCS and is in kindergarten. Some of her hobbies are mountain biking, snowboarding, splitboarding, cross country skiing, hiking, yoga, and baking bread. She also spent a lot of time “down the shore” surfing when she lived in NJ.
Jen has been teaching since 2017. She began her career at Breckenridge Elementary as the k-5 Special Education teacher. She built some really meaningful relationships with her students and discovered how to individualize her teaching to meet the needs of the many diverse learners. Mrs. Noto has been a friend of Jen’s since 2017, so when she reached out to Jen about a teaching opportunity at HRCS, Jen was stoked because her true passions are now aligned with her career.
