Jamielee Adams
After growing up in a rural town in Georgia, Jamielee enrolled at and then graduated with her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Georgia Southern University in 2018. With her husband and menagerie of critters, she moved to Oregon in 2019 and immediately fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. As an avid biology enthusiast, she sought out ways to contribute to the science community in any way that she could, volunteering in labs and helping to write extension articles for entomology programs. After working at a local science museum, she realized that she enjoyed working as an educator and transitioned into a role as a middle school science teacher. This role completely changed her life’s trajectory, and although she still loves science, she now knows that her role in life is to be an educator. With the belief that anyone can learn, Jamielee hopes to inspire her students to rise to any challenge no matter the difficulty. In her free time, Jamielee can be found watching Japanese anime, reading fantasy novels, taking care of her animals (who she could talk about for days if you let her!), or working on her latest painting.
With increased chatter about Neurodivergence on the internet and in the media it`s normal to wonder if some of the parts of you are an indicator of something larger at play.
Neurodivergent, quirky, high-strung, one or none of the above- humans are unique and diverse, no two brains are alike. We recognize and celebrate that.

This week Madison and Burlington got their hands dirty with some sandwich making, a snake lady brought her friend to Burlington, and so much more!

This week at Mansfield Hall, Madison student Cory created a hand-drawn coloring book for a fundraising initiative; each creature is based off of the delicious recipes inside, (available for adoption) Madison Cat Project cat Leila tried to find a new purr-spective on shelter life, and our Dominion League dominated in Burlington.
See ya next week!
Autism is not a single experience – it is a broad spectrum of neurological differences in how people communicate, learn, and connect.
At Mansfield Hall, we focus on strengths, self-understanding, and supportive community.
