Hello Parents!

My name is Anjali Jacobson and I am so excited to be your child's 2nd grade teacher! I have been teaching at Jan Schiff since 2023! I was born in Indonesia and I lived in Bali for 8 years. I moved to Texas in 2015 and have been here ever since! I am actually a product of Fortbend ISD and I graduated from Dulles Highschool. I graduated from the University of Houston in 2022 with a Bachelor's of Science in Teaching and Learning. I decided to become a teacher because I have met amazing and compassionate teachers from Fortbend ISD that have inspired me to join this field. I originally wanted to become a nurse but I accepted a tutoring position at Dulles Highschool and I fell in love with teaching. I switched majors and the rest is history. I love making a positive impact in my student's lives and I know they have made a positive impact in mine. A few cool facts about me is that I currently speak 4 languages. I speak English, Indonesian, Chinese and Malay. I love connecting with students and learning new languages as I go! I am also a self-taught henna artist. I have been doing henna for parties, weddings, Eid and Diwali since I was thirteen and it is also something I am passionate about. I also paint and you will see some of my artworks in my classroom! I play a few musical instruments but I am really good at playing the drums. I have been playing since I was 10 because my old music teacher was looking for a replacement drummer and she was asked me even though I did not know how to play. She showed me how and that started a life-long love of playing the drums. I am super excited to be at Schiff again this year and I am looking forward to meeting you and your child. GO SHARKS!
