My name is Sarah Jimerson. I grew up in Ohio and graduated from college with my Associate Degree in Graphic Design. I have lived in Salamanca for 18 years with my husband Todd Jimerson. I have a stepson who just graduated with his Master’s Degree in Geology, my daughter is 12 years old and attends Seneca Intermediate and we have a miniature dachshund named Buster. As a family we love enjoying the summer on our pontoon and at our camp. In the fall we are Ohio State and Buffalo Bills fans.
I am a new teacher/tutor for the Seneca Nation of Indians Education Department. I formerly worked at SALC as a teacher’s assistant where I earned my Child Development Associate. I consider myself a creative organized and patient person and will use these skills in my teaching and tutoring strategies. I am excited and committed to make a difference in our community.
Sarah will be working with Salamanca students primarily in the Seneca Intermediate School and assigned to Walsh and Steamburg students on a rotating basis.

I am a graduate of Jamestown Community College with degrees in applied social sciences as well as early childhood education. I will be returning in the fall for my teaching degree.
I have been working with kids for 13 years in different capacities. I was a youth counselor at The Zafron House where I helped instill homework and study skills. I worked at The Seneca Arts and Learning Center (SALC) for 8 years, where I was a lead teacher. I enjoy working with kids helping them become the best version of themselves. I look forward to continuing my work with students and their families, helping them to learn and excel in an educational and nurturing environment.
