Jeannette has continued working for social justice, as a grassroots organizer, in management and administration, resource development, grant writing, program coordination, board service, and strategic consulting. Jeannette is proficient in Spanish and has served as staff and on boards of large and small organizations and for established and fledgling nonprofits.

Currently, Jeannette serves on the board of The Mountain Community School, a public charter school in Hendersonville. She relishes life in Hendersonville with her husband Milton and their two daughters, Celia (studying Music Education at UNCC) and Samantha (a rising high school freshman studying all things fun and horse-related).
