Jessica Hanzlik
Having decided that the best way to hone her teaching skills is on the malleable minds of the nation’s youth, Jessica Hanzlik is completing her first year of Teach For America, teaching math, science, and social studies to 8th graders on the southwest side of Chicago. Prior to entering the enthralling world of middle school, Jessica spent two years at the University of Oxford in England, studying particle physics and social policy. She’s always had a hard time making up her mind about what she wants to be or do.
Jessica studied physics and French at the Ohio State University but now wishes she knew Spanish so that she could understand what her students are saying in the hallways. Although she doesn’t have much free time at the moment, she likes running outside, attending aerobics classes, and reading.
