Hi, my name is Jessica Hansen. I currently teach classes in the Culinary Pathway at Norte Vista High School. At a young age I developed an interest in cooking and baking. I loved to make and develop my own recipes and creations.  I am also passionate about nutrition education and practice. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Consumer Science and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I feel very lucky to have a job that I absolutely love. I appreciate that CTE classes provide student engagement focused, hands-on learning and integrated instruction. Every day in Foods I see students develop skills in problem solving, communication, collaboration, time management and critical thinking. I watch them build on their understanding of math, biology and chemistry principles through challenging, fun, hands-on learning activities. It is incredibly fulfilling to observe students build their confidence, unleash their creativity and improve in skills that will benefit them in their education, future careers and personal lives.
