Jessica Snodgrass is a rare native San Diegan who tried living other places and always came back. She received a B.S. in Elementary Education and a M.Ed in Curriculum & Instruction. After teaching in the elementary setting for a short period, she found a love for informal education, conservation, and wildlife. She worked at two zoological facilities where she hosted shows, led camp programs, and developed diverse educational programming for students from preschool – college. After 14+ years in informal education, she is excited to be back on a school campus, especially one that focuses on helping their students enter the world prepared.

Jessica has a passion for music. Whether it’s singing with a local vocal ensemble, playing one of her instruments, or just listening to some tunes, there’s usually always something musical happening. In addition to music, Jessica loves writing, traveling, puzzles (word, math, or jigsaw), and she recently started backpacking.
