Meet your Teachers
Hello! My name is Jennifer Dunn, and I have taught kindergarten and first grade over a period of 22 years. I've been teaching at Olive Chapel for the past 17 years. I’m very passionate about teaching and enjoy watching my kiddos reach their goals every year! I studied education at Methodist University and grew up in a military family. I’ve lived in many places, but landed in North Carolina. I’m proud to call it home. I have two children, one in middle school and a junior in college at UNC Charlotte.
I am excited to be apart of the OCE Clipper ship family. We moved to Apex in 2013 and we just love it here while it has only been a few years it seems like home for a lot longer. I am originally from Gibraltar where I lived on a boat for 11 years. Previous jobs have had me underwater diving with sharks, fish and sea turtles as I worked as a Dive Safety Officer as various aquariums. So it is only fitting that I find myself aboard a new ship helping to steer our young sailors through their educational journey here at OCE. I have a Bachelors’ degree in Psychology with an Associate degree in Business and Finance. Both my children attend Olive Chapel and have had a phenomenal education thus far. When not at work you can find me with my family at the beach, on the lake boating or camping or off having some other kind of adventure. We like to have fun and experience new things, taking off and seeing where the road takes us. I love going to music concerts, spending time with friends and making the most of every opportunity. I am very excited to be here at Olive Chapel and watch the joy on the faces of your children as they learn and grow everyday. Thank you for entrusting them in our hands.
