​Albert Einstein's philosophical tenet, "Only a life lived in the service of others is worth living," forms the fundamental belief for the Human Services Professions.  Following Einstein's tenet, Ms. Jacobs embraced serving others and became an English teacher.  Both her undergraduate and graduate degrees are from the University of Maryland. Ms. Jacobs has been teaching for 30 years,  and 25 of those years are with MCPS.  As the Human Services Professions Academy Lead Teacher, her goal is to help students explore the professions comprising human services.  By exposure to speakers and experiences in the human service professions, students may be able to glean the minimal requirements to enter such professions, or to understand what opportunities are available to those who enter certain professions. Ms. Jacobs hopes to encourage students to approach their exploration with energy and enthusiasm.
