Welcome to Jen's Homepage

Hey! Thanks for checking out my homepage! Welcome to my world!.

Hi there! I'm a Girls' Day (Monday) Mentor at the Computer Clubhouse at the Computer Museum. Before I came to Boston, I was a student at Amherst College in Amherst , MA. During my four years there, I acquired a great education and a wonderful boyfriend, Michael Kolodner.

Currently, I am a Master's student in the Technology in Education concentration at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Basically, Educational Technology is a nice combination of Education Theory, Educational Psychology, and Technological Toys to be used in (just a few examples):

And Away We Go! This summer, Michael and I travelled throughout Costa Rica for a month. Whitefaced Capuchin Monkey in Curu For the first two weeks, we tracked troops of white-faced capuchin monkeys and observed their use of medicinal plants on a UREP program. Over the next two weeks, we saw out 2 active volcanos, swam in volcanic hot springs, watched 350 lb. green turtles laying 100+ eggs on a moonless carribean beach, hiked in rain forest, cloud forest, and dwarf cloud forest, and did so much more!
