Kelly Jacobsen is one of the most talented and unique members of our community. She is truly an American hero. As an educator she has developed a style that is all her own, which allows her to reach students that others might see as a lost cause. Listen in as she shares some of what she has learned over the last three decades as a teacher, a mentor, and at times, a roller derby enthusiast.

She is an amazing person that I am privileged to call a friend. I had a great time with this conversation and I hope you enjoy the episode.
