Jean is a conceptual and holistic thinker able to bring awareness of the essential meaning of variables, ideas, and options as they relate to the big picture. A lifelong learner, she is constantly pondering the meaning, purpose, potential, and destiny of people. This has been exhibited through her role as a mentor for the past 15 years, working initially with students at the University of North Texas in its Professional Leadership Program and most recently with select Professional Advancement students at Prep for Prep, a non-profit organization serving promising students of color in New York.
With her strong sense of personal responsibility to influence good, growth, and gain in the lives of those she serves, Jean uses her intuition and philosophical curiosity to bring awareness of personality, intentions, emotions, ethics, and values. She is open-minded, curious, creative, and innovative—and often applies these traits to meaningful community development opportunities. She is motivated to influence and convince others to participate in social, organizational, vocational, or recreational activities, including a project with fellow Master Gardeners to install a learning garden at a local environmental center and in her position on the Board of The Land Conservancy of New Jersey.
Jean resides in her native New Jersey and lives with her cardiologist husband, Steven, where she continues to coach and has worked on a 21st Century Community Kitchen in Newark that brings healthier food options, job training, and food production to the inner city. She is the proud mother of James, a graduate of Hofstra University.
