Bio
Suzanne Monir
I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer as she was the science department coordinator at one point while I taught at UTS. Without question, Jennifer is one of the most dedicated persons I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She's energetic, talented, extremely organized, knowledgeable and hard working. The existing programs at UTS are outstanding standard, and a great deal of this has to do with the hard work Jennifer and her team have poured in over years. Her students and colleagues respect her alike. She also contributes a great deal to the educational community in the many presentations, seminars, articles and teacher training she has done. It has been beneficial to my own growth to work with such a dedicated and talented professional.
