Dr. Jen Mott is an author, keynote speaker, educator and entertainer. Spring of 2024, Dr. Mott published two books: one ("Teacherverance") is based on her dissertation research on teacher perseverance and the other ("Why Teaching?") is a picture book companion to honor her own teachers and remind readers of the lasting impact educators have on society. As a full-time school administrator at a local Cincinnati middle school and professor at Xavier University, Dr. Mott enjoys merging and *juggling* her passions for education and entertainment as a TEDx and keynote speaker to help inspire others.
