Jessica Ruffin

Jessica Ruffin attended Southern University, where she majored in Care and Development of the Young Child. She has experience as a daycare teacher, paraprofessional, and Sunday school teacher, roles that helped her build strong skills in classroom management, differentiated instruction, and fostering positive relationships with students.

Jessica is passionate about helping students succeed both academically and personally. She strives to create a classroom where students feel seen and supported while being challenged to grow in perseverance, respect, and responsibility.
