Jessica Lovett

2^nd Grade Teacher

Hi there! My name is Jessica Lovett, and this is my 3^rd year teaching 2nd grade here at Riverside. I attended MTSU where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Development, but I am currently in pursuit of obtaining my licensure for teaching. My husband also teaches in Maury County, and we have a little girl that will be turning 5 in October. I love spending time with my family and going on vacation; our favorite vacation spot is Disney! I also like to put puzzles together and read. I absolutely love teaching because I want to make a difference in children’s lives. I especially love seeing that light bulb moment on their face when they have mastered a strategy or skill. I cannot wait to see what this school year has in store!

I graduated from William Jessup University with a bachelors degree in Liberal Studies in December 2021.
