Worlds Away

Jean was raised in a family of teachers and journalists so she learned to speak her thoughts at an early age. She is an avid naturalist and explorer with an eager interest in virtually anything that comes along. If she were to sum up her favorite things they would be her family, nature, farming, art, teaching, and anything to do with horses. Jean is always looking for interesting people to listen to, things to learn about and new things to try She has been an elementary school teacher for 18 years and she enjoys the many challenges that public education presents and the daily opportunity to share a sense of wonder with her students. Jean was born in Huntington, on Long Island but she has traveled far and wide so it is impossible to say that she is "from" any one place. She lives in upstate New York where she rides her horse almost every day and spends as much time as possible outdoors. .
