Jenny Han (Teacher)

My name is Jenny Han, and I serve as a dedicated 7th-year art teacher at Briscoe Elementary School where I share my passion for creativity with young minds. I earned my BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Illustration from Moore College of Art and Design in 1999.

Before transitioning to teaching, I worked as a graphic designer for an advertising company in New Jersey. After spending time raising my four children, I found joy in education and inspiring students through art. In my free time, I enjoy all things hands-on, especially cooking, baking and crocheting
