Jean has held various nursing positions, including Director of Nursing, Executive Director for two skilled nursing facilities, Charge Nurse on a med/surg teaching unit, Employee Health Nurse, and Infection Preventionist. She accepted the position as a program instructor at the Cassadaga Job Corp Center for 6 years where she fine-tuned her teaching skills and brought that experience to Absolut Care of Westfield.

Here, Jean guides our nursing students to become legendary employees. With Jean’s experience and background, we are leading the industry by training top-notch caregivers. 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.
