About Me

My name is Jennifer Johnson. I currently reside in Ocean Beach, California. I moved to San Diego from the San Francisco Bay area in 2006 to obtain a Bachelors Degree at San Diego State University. Upon my graduation in 2009, with a degree in Art-Applied design for jewelry and metalsmithing, I continued working in the field of veterinary medicine as that had been my employment experience since 1998. The year was a difficult one, economically, and the veterinary field had been my extended work history for which I took comfort in the job security it provided. I had been a technician for 10 years and continued as a veterinary receptionist upon completing a college degree, but it was not my passion. I found myself burned out and wanted to pursue a different career, one that would support me financially, facilitate my artistic endeavors, and would allow myself to feel pride and passion for being a part of, but I had yet to discover what this would be. Feeling very unsatisfied with where I was, I quit my job of 3 years at the veterinary hospital and started working at a charter school as an after school activities instructor in 2012. I was unsure of my change in direction but I desired something different, something that was completely outside of my comfort zone and unlike my previous work experience. I was soon to discover what I had been unaware of up until that point and what would fulfill my desired career experience. It proved to be an unexpected epiphany that I could be a patron for social services and use my previously acquired, veterinary patient care skills to support work related to childhood development and education. I had not anticipated the great personal satisfaction and joy it gave to me in the process. I soon thereafter began to pursue a career as an elementary education teacher.

Teamtechnology Questionnaire, Teaching, and Learning Style Survey Results


My teamtechnology questionnaire results label me as a middle-of-the-road team member, neither a leader nor a follower. The description is as follows:

ESFP
If your closest personality type is ESFP then you are an action-oriented people person. You seek to live life to the full, and enjoy applying your people-skills (and other practical skills) to achieve a tangible benefit for people. You have a strong sense of immediacy or urgency - realizing what needs to be done now - and are probably often urging your colleagues to stop talking and get on with doing something.
ESFJ
If your closest personality type is ESFJ then you seek to develop harmony in relationships, and promote cooperation and teamwork. You regard the needs of others as very important, perhaps more so than your own, and seek to recognize their contributions and make them feel valued. You encourage and motivate others, engender team spirit, and try to overcome any conflict by finding common ground and ways in which people can agree.
Your results suggest you prefer Extraversion, which involves directing your energy into interacting with people and things. When you are extroverting, you tend to take action, suggest ideas as they occur to you, and you may have a broad range of interests. However, there will be times when you use introversion, which involves directing your energy towards ideas and information. When you are introverting, you will tend to concentrate on a few issues quite deeply, and think things through before making suggestions or taking action.
Your preference for Sensing means you like to deal with reality, with facts, tangible outcomes, and specific information. You also use intuition, though to a lesser degree. It looks at possibilities, at hidden potential, new ways of doing things, or what is not yet known.
Your preference for Feeling means you use subjective values, taking a more personal, subjective view as a participant, and tending to appreciate the important things in life. You also using Thinking, but to a lesser degree. Thinking involves using objective principles, taking a detached, objective view as an onlooker, and tending to analyze or see inconsistencies.
Your results suggest you like a balance between the two - using some Judgment, which structures and controls life, makes decisions and sticks to them, and some Perception, which goes with the flow, and is more flexible and spontaneous.
