Jeanette grew up in Vernon Hills and now lives in Dundee with her husband and two children. She is a speech-language pathologist working in schools, Early Intervention, and private practice. She comes from a Russian-speaking family and speaks it fluently. Outside of family and work life, Jeanette enjoys working out, cooking, reading, and exploring new places. Jewishly, she loves to celebrate holidays and create community. She has a history of Jewish lay leadership, especially in small Jewish communities, and is excited to continue that with JUF Young Families!
