Jean grew up with a fascination for cities as well as for people and how environments influence behavior.  Given this, she pursued an undergraduate degree in sociology, followed by a masters degree in city and regional planning. She’s since merged her personal passions with her professional career, specializing in master planning and programming for academic and civic facilities for more than three decades. Today, Jean is a leader in master planning and programming for Perkins Eastman, fostering a culture of collaboration between the team and client that has served as an example for the entire staff.
