Instructor

Jen Barrett


Jen’s professional background blends education and literacy. She’s worked in Early Childhood, K-2 Elementary, and Parent Education, as well as the St. Paul Public Library, Minnesota Children’s Museum, and Literacy Minnesota. Her most rewarding role? Definitely, being a mom to her spunky 10-year-old daughter.

To say Jen is passionate about books is a bit of an understatement. The proof is in her spare time, when you’ll find her reading books to her daughter, browsing used book stores, stocking the Little Free Library in her front yard, and discussing books with friends.
