Hi PFLAG NH friends! I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself so you can know a little bit about the person behind the blog.
Quick background: I was born in rural Maine, but moved to NH when I was 18 and started attending New England College in Henniker. I finished my undergraduate degree in English education there and started teaching at a public school in NH in 2001. I attended Plymouth State University from 2005-2010 working on my graduate degree where I earned an M.Ed. in Teaching Writing by working with the National Writing Project in NH. I am now a doctoral candidate at New England College (back to my roots!).
Family: I have been married for 22 years to my husband whom I met when I was 18 years old. We have an amazing teenager together who we are incredibly proud of.
Identity: I’m a queer person raising a queer teenager. I’m out here just trying to make the world a better place for us and all the queer people in our community.
Hobbies: I am a huge NERD :). I love games and gaming of all kinds: video games, table top role-playing games (Like D&D), board games, card games, all of it! I’m also really into houseplants and gardening, reading sci-fi and cheesy romance, and drinking iced coffee like it’s my job.
I hope that helps to give you all a sense of who I am, and I am excited to share more about my ideas and experiences through this blog.
Lead with love!
<3 Jenifer
