Jenny Atkinson has a master's in education and decided to pursue a career in teaching, but before doing so, she decided she needed to understand more about the issues affecting urban schools. She worked in the Boys and Girls club, which eventually led to her overseeing the education programs and led to a position as executive director of a club in Boston for a few years. Over the years, Jenny also studied massage therapy and the body-mind connection. Currently, Jenny is a nonprofit consultant with the consulting company Smarter Learning Group, where she serves a range of clients from national organizations mostly focused on education and services that support communities in need.
