Jodi founded WellCheq because it was the tool she needed in her classroom as a high school biology teacher. She found it was difficult at times to know how her students were doing and who needed additional support. Jodi is passionate about helping young people cultivate their immense potential, which begins with feeling seen, heard, and cared for. WellCheq was a way to make it easier for students to ask for help and share how they are feeling with educators.
