Bio: With over 20 years of experience in finance, climbing the proverbial corporate ladder,
Jean knows what it's like to juggle a successful career with being a mom and caretaker yet still feel like she hasn’t gotten anywhere. No matter how hard she worked to achieve more in life, Jean knew that she couldn't achieve it if she kept pushing herself to conform to this definition of success that was expected of her. This is what motivated her to create the S.U.C.C.E.S.S Method program that supports personal and professional growth for ambitious women who never thought more was possible.


Jean is also a podcast host. Her podcast, Being Unapologetically Authentically, has been featured in Armstrong Wolfe, the Financial Advisory Firm for the COO. She’s also been a guest on a number of podcasts, as well as featured in magazines, such as the Authority Magazine, an online publication devoted to sharing in-depth, and interesting interviews, featuring people who are authorities in Business, Pop Culture, Wellness, Social Impact, and Tech
