Empowered Educator® elevates the teaching experience by prioritizing educator well-being, resilience, and professional growth to create thriving school communities.

Thriving Teachers Create Thriving School Communities

Seen and Heard On:

At Empowered Educator, we believe that real, sustainable change starts with you. We move the focus from student outcomes to teacher well-being because in order for our students to flourish we need to focus on our teachers. We go beyond surface-level self-care to tackle the root of burnout and overwhelm, empowering you to show up as your best self. When you thrive, your students do, too.

Lead by example. Transform your well-being.
Watch your students flourish.

How can we expect our students to thrive if we’re running on empty?

After 15 years in the classroom, Jen founded Empowered Educator®  in 2020 as a response to teacher burnout during the pandemic. She is known for bringing her energy, humor and expertise in her presentations while inspiring educators to stay connected to their “why.” Jen is a certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology.
 
Since its inception, Empowered Educator®  has reached thousands of teachers and school leaders all over the world. Jen has been featured in Authority Magazine, Medium, Thrive Global and Voyage MIA.  She is the author of the Amazon bestseller, A Place in the Staff: Finding Your Way as a Music Teacher, and was on the TEDx stage with her talk, Generational Change Begins with Empowered Teachers. Jen's podcast, Take Notes, is in the top 3% of global podcasts.

Jen’s insatiable curiosity continues to make Empowered Educator  programming relevant and reflective of the most up-to-date research in mindset, leadership and cognitive neuroscience. Her willingness to foster important conversations creates safe spaces for educators to talk about their concerns and actively solve problems. She is deeply committed to helping educators regain agency in how they show up for themselves and their school communities every day. Check out her news interview with NYC's Pix11.

Jen fundamentally believes that when teachers learn how to show up for themselves, it transforms how they show up for their students.
