I have always known Jean to be an open-minded person with warm welcoming smile on her face. She has been a source of sturdy support for me at a point in my life when I was emotionally frail and continues to do so. I have grown immensely in the presence of her company. She has accepted me for who I am and encourages me to take positive strides towards rebuilding my life. Her sense of perception helps me to anticipate and prepare me for the future. Her keen sense of observance picks upon my cues, which she in turn raises questions and gets me to think and analyze for myself. She has this knack of asking questions, developing a curiosity that digs deeper into my conscious and this helps me to understand my thoughts, my behavior, and ultimately the issue at hand. She is very resourceful and can come up with lots of suggestions and innovative thoughts.

Above all, Jean is easy to talk to and fun to be. She has always maintained that fine sense of balance between being a professional and a dear friend to me
