Ms. Jessica Soares
College: University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Classes: Fundamentals and Foundations of Math (Common Core 1)
Inspiration: As a 2005 Apex High School graduate, she “always admired” Mr.
Leary because, “he could make it [math] understandable quickly.”
Past Teaching Experience: Soares taught Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II
and Math I for five years at South Johnston High School.
Best High School Memory: Graduating was because it was “all about us”
and “you were recognized”.
Most Embarrassing High School Memory: Getting hit with a
badminton racquet in gym class because “everyone saw it” and she was “bruised.”
Family: She has a younger brother, who graduated from Apex in 2009, and a
younger sister, who graduated from Apex in 2012. Her sister now attends East
Carolina University.
Favorite Restaurants: La Cocina and Daniel’s.
Best Thing to do on a Rainy Day: Sleep and clean because
you “don’t ever want to do them when it’s sunny”.
Favorite TV Shows: Friends, Scandal, Revenge,
and Grey’s Anatomy.
Would love to: Travel the world because she has never left the east coast.
Specifically Germany, Australia, and the Caribbean.
