My name is Jennifer Baker; this will be my eleventh year of teaching, and I am so excited about joining the faculty at BCCCA. I am originally from Stone Mountain, GA, but presently live in Kennesaw with my husband, my dog, Zelda, and my cat, Ziggy. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor's in English, and I earned my M.A. T. in Secondary English from Mercer University. I love working with students and in my spare time, I like to swim, hike, do yoga, ride my bike, work in my yard, and cook. I am looking forward to a great school year; I will be teaching 10th Literature and American Literature, and I can’t wait to get started.
