My name is Jennifer Watson. I met my husband, Robert, 24 years ago at the Arizona State Fair and we have two amazing kids, Blake and Brooke.
I graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelors of Science in Marketing and Logistics. I’ve spent the majority of my career focused on the financial, analytical and strategic side of Marketing. I have built and mentored my analytic teams to be empowered, autonomous thought-leaders as I am of the mindset that you lift yourself up when you selflessly lift others to reach their potential.
I walked away from my corporate career six years ago when personal family matters, that included my two autistic children, required my full attention, dedication and flexibility.
During my hiatus, I have spent my time working part-time as a respite provider for Air Force families, being highly involved in Cub Scouts as my kid’s den leader and the Pack treasurer and now as my daughter’s Assistant Scout Master and Recruiting Chair for her Troop. We are also highly involved in the West Valley/Goodyear delegation of Special Olympics for the last 3 years. Most recently, I have been serving as a private math tutor with Smart Cactus through which I have rediscovered my love of math and believe I have found my passion and calling. Furthermore, I am serving as a math instructor at United Collective, a faith-based homeschooling hybrid enrichment school in Litchfield Park.
For fun, I enjoy making memories as a family–camping by a campfire under the stars, riding and exploring our beautiful desert in our UTV and family game night. I also love listening to audio books, my new-found hobby of crocheting and jamming out to 80’s music. We also attend CCV and I (selfishly) enjoy serving in the kids ministry infant room where I get to hold and sooth babies whiles their parents attend service.
From both a personal and professional standpoint, I am honored for this opportunity and the trust that is afforded to me by my tutoring parents to foster, mentor and inspire their children. My goal is not only to teach math, but do so in such a manner that is an extension of your family and values.
