Welcome

Hi there!  My name is Rebecca Jacobsen and I'm your Biology or Epidemiology teacher.  A little about me:
 
I'm a Jersey Shore native: I graduated Ocean Township High School in 1997.  I graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2002 with a Cum Laude degree in Biology with a concentration in Secondary Education.  I worked every summer for 9 years at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach as an educator, tour guide, penguin wrangler, seal trainer, shark feeder, occasional pirate, and Jane-Of-All-Trades.  Aside from Marine Biology, I have a special interest in Public Health and Epidemiology.
 
I student taught here at BRHS in 2001 and I've been here ever since.  I love being part of this community and I've been active in many student activities, including music and theatre.  I live in Hopewell, NJ with my 11 year old daughter, our 2 cats, 3 miniature quail, and 1 leopard gecko.
