Jean began her career as a high school Spanish and English teacher. After three years in the classroom, she left teaching to attend law school and eventually become the managing partner of a successful law firm. For the next 30 years, Jean maintained an active practice, focusing on representing small and midsize businesses. She was committed to her community as she devoted her time to local and state bar organizations and engaged in volunteer work.   

 

A significant turning point came when a client urged her to join his organization full-time, leading her to retire from law and become the executive director of an international non-profit. In this role, she empowered educators, mental health professionals, and parents with skills to work effectively with intensively energetic children and adults. She successfully utilized her leadership skills as a former managing law partner to empower others and create a clear and compelling vision for the organization.  

 

Now in retirement from the non-profit, Jean continues to make an impact as a business consultant and an on-site substitute teacher, combining her educational background and legal expertise to nurture and inspire the next generation of learners. Her goal is to excite others to find their passion and make a difference in the lives of others.
