Jennifer Degenhardt

The DigiGals are Jennifer Degenhardt and Theresa Marrama. Together they have written over 150 comprehensible novels in French, Spanish, German, Italian and English.

Jennifer Degenhardt

Jennifer Degenhardt, B.A., M.Ed., taught middle and high school Spanish for 24 years. She began writing when students in her classes were not “buying in” to the traditional textbook lessons. With the first story she wrote, Jennifer found that her students were more engaged, both with the language and in class in general. While her books highlight cultural, social, economic, and political themes necessary for continued conversation, both in and out of the classroom, all of them deal with identity to some degree and how important it is to know who you are. Jennifer is passionate about helping students learn more about themselves through storytelling and writing and is currently sharing this passion with her students at the college level at UCONN Stamford.
