Jeanine joined the Federation in February 2003. After working in the field for ten years as a Certified Early Childhood Educator in a variety of child care settings including working with children with special needs, she decided to pursue her dream of continuing her post-secondary education. In 2000, she graduated from the University of Ottawa with a B.A. in English, Psychology, and Art History.

Jeanine loves her spare time and she can often be found wandering the halls of her favourite museums and art galleries. She would love to be able to transform a famous Monet into an impressionist quilt. She especially enjoys nature and spending time camping and canoeing.
