Jennifer Priouzeau was born in La Rochelle, on the Atlantic coast of southwest France, and grew up on the picturesque Île de Ré—famous for its oyster beds, scenic bike trails, and expansive beaches. Jennifer began her professional career as a certified fitness instructor, dedicating several years to helping individuals of all ages improve their well-being through nutrition and physical activity. This experience sparked a particular interest in early childhood physical development and led her to pursue a new path in education.
Motivated by this passion, Jennifer earned the CAP Petite Enfance (Early Childhood Education Assistant Certification) and the national ASTEM preschool assistant credential from the French Ministry of Education. Her journey in international education began in earnest after a year living abroad in Nicaragua with her family. Upon returning, she joined the French International Leadership Academy in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where she served as an Assistant Preschool Teacher.
Jennifer brings a warm, patient, and adaptable presence to the classroom. She is passionate about supporting young children’s growth and development through movement and structured play. Outside of school, she enjoys hiking, biking, staying active, and spending time with her children—especially over board games or a shared love of French pastries.
