Jean states that she loves teaching and watching her students thrive to better their lives and give them opportunities of growth within the industry. Outside of nursing, Jean loves to homestead.
I passed my CNA certification with Jean in January 2024. It was a great experience! She is so kindhearted and very understanding. Although the class time is short, I learned so many new things and I will forever be grateful for Jean. – LaNina, CNA
During my class, I was able to learn so much about not only being a CNA but about genuinely caring about the residents. Jean is an amazing teacher and made the class beyond enjoyable. I thank Jean for helping me begin my career path! – Samantha, CNA
