   Mrs. Jennifer Cummings

Jenny Cummings joined the Grafton Counseling Department in 2022. School counseling was a career change for Jenny as she spent her first 5 years after college working in the finance field.  Quickly realizing this was not where her highest calling lay, she went back to school and has been an educator ever since! Jenny holds a BA in Psychology from Assumption College and an M.Ed in School Counseling from the University of Massachusetts. After spending 6 years in Arizona and 4 years in a neighboring district working as a school counselor, she is excited to be in the role as the College and Career Counselor at Grafton.  She will be the first one to tell you that the career journey is rarely a straight line; there are bound to be zigs and zags along the way.   Creative and enthusiastic, making connections with students and helping them self-reflect and discover their strengths and interests is a passion of hers. Jenny's young children, Carson and Corinne, keep her busy and on her toes!  When not chasing them around or chauffeuring them to and from activities, she enjoys reading, cooking, barre classes, and watching reality TV!
