Jessica Holmes Masters is a Grades Pre K-5 librarian at Westridge Elementary School in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Jessica’s journey as an educator began fifteen years ago when she walked through the doors of her library at Westridge Elementary School full of passion and a desire to make a difference! With this passion and desire, she has spent the past fifteen years developing innovative ways to incorporate technology into the classroom, which aligns with her mission to motivate and engage her students. Watching her students build confidence and experience success has been the catalyst for her continued personal growth as an educator. Next year, she looks forward to new challenges as she journeys into the world of high school.
