Jennifer Paradis

School Counselor

Jennifer received her BS in Elementary and Early Childhood Education Unified (Special Ed) from Iowa State University and headed to Houston, TX for her first teaching position. She taught Special Ed Resource classes and Kindergarten for five years before obtaining her MA in School Counseling from PVAMU. She served as a K-5 Elementary School Counselor for 15 years and then took a break to join her husband in their family import business. What started as just a loving and nurturing environment in a Waldorf Preschool and Kindergarten program for their son, Stanley, grew into an appreciation for the Waldorf philosophy and a desire to continue his education through the grades. Her family relocated to the Roaring Fork Valley in the summer of 2021. Stanley began first grade at WSRF and Jennifer began subbing; filling in roles from Pre-K through the 8th grade. She is delighted to be a part of WSRF as our full time counselor.
