Jen Williams graduated from the University of Lethbridge in 2000 and has had the good fortune to teach in a Social Studies classroom ever since. She is a life-long learner who is more than happy to sit on a beach reading a book about geopolitical economics or finishing a new learning plan on the plane to Europe. In between her travel and teaching, Jen has played many leadership roles, including a previous opportunity to serve as president of the ATA Social Studies Council; currently she is the vice-president of SSENC (a national social studies organization). She has a passion for collaborating with other teachers and sharing her ideas, which is why she loves working with Facing History and Ourselves Canada!
