Jennifer Rosas

Jennifer Fabiola Pérez Rosas (ella/she/her) began her educational journey as an emergent bilingual in the TX public school system within Houston.

She leads TNTP as an Academics Director decolonizing indigenous education in the Southwest and as a multilingual learner specialist. Prior to coming to TNTP, she served as a dual language school leader, bilingual instructional specialist, classroom teacher, and is a parent to two emergent bilinguals in public school. She graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with her B.A. in Interdisciplinary studies & her M.Ed in Ed Leadership.
