​Jen Gayda Gupta is a teacher and poet.

She holds a Masters in Education from New York University and has taught both middle and high school English. She now coaches students in how to cultivate stronger executive functioning and study skills. She also runs her own poetry workshops and co-facilitates group programs with Awaken Coaching. 

Jen believes in the power of creativity and using writing as a tool for accessing your inner voice. She believes poetry and the act of "noticing" have the power to change a life, possibly even a planet.

​Jen lives, writes, and travels in a tiny camper with her husband and their dog. Much of her writing is inspired by life with an ever changing backyard. She can be found on Twitter and Instagram @jengaydagupta.
