Jennifer Espinoza

Villa Nueva Elementary (Brownsville ISD)
Librarian & Media Specialist

Hi there! I’m Jennifer Espinoza and I have been an educator going on 12 years - I spent 6 years as a high school English teacher and will have completed my 6th year as an elementary librarian at the end of the 2023-2024 school year. Though I am a first-time presenter, I am excited to share ideas, tips, and resources that have worked well for me over the years with my fellow librarians.
