Dr. Jessica DeLisa is a 6th-grade math teacher. She is currently teaching advanced, accelerated, and regular 6th-grade math. She has experience with in-class special education as well. While she is currently teaching in a smaller district, she has six years of experience teaching in a larger district with a diverse student body. There, she devoted her time to developing a transformational leadership project focused on increasing student participation in after-school activities to ensure all students have access to essential protective factors that are contributors to success, even for the most at-risk students. Dr. DeLisa continually looks for ways to support the most vulnerable learners through her practice and research.

Her path to education has been a winding road with many detours along the way. With a bachelor's degree in communication, she has used her skills to publish a fitness magazine, write and publish a children's book, and to manage multiple social media accounts.
