Mary Jackson
Computer Lab Assistant
Computer Lab Assistant This is my third year at WBES. I graduated at Tennessee Tech University with a degree in Psychology. I am currently working on my Masters in Elementary Education. It is an absolute pleasure being the Computer Lab teacher this year. I have been an avid user of computers since I was a child, so I am excited to share the same passion I have for computers and pass it along to the kids. I am really excited to teach all about the glorious wonders of computers!
