About

This is my nineteenth year of teaching. I have taught kindergarten, first, and second grades. I grew up in Hemet, California before heading to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Master's degree in Education. I have been a National Board Certified Teacher since 2004. I was honored to be named LAUSD Teacher of the Year for 2017-2018! Teaching is my passion.

Testimonial

It's a rarity now-a-days, however unfortunate that may be, to find a teacher as dedicated and as passionate about the succes and future of your children as you are.  Having worked with Mrs. Wakefield day in and day out I know no other educator who is more committed to providing the education our future generations need.  Have no doubt that in this classroom your child will be loved and supported--flourishing each and every day.

Testimonial

Looking back at the people who have impacted my life in a positive way, Mrs. Jennifer Wakefield is certainly at the top.  As a former student, and current friend, I know Jennifer to be instructive, intuitive, and kind to her students.
