Meet Jean
Educator, Coach, and AI Time-Saver
Hi, I'm Jean 👋
I've worn a lot of hats in education: teacher, curriculum director, program coordinator. For over a decade, I've worked alongside teachers and leaders who pour everything into their students and staff—often at the expense of their own time and wellbeing.
​
I know the late nights grading, the weekends swallowed by lesson prep, the after-hours data reports, and the endless stream of emails and meetings. Whether you're in the classroom, leading a building, or coordinating programs, the workload can feel relentless. I've lived it from all sides.When AI came onto the scene, I started experimenting—not as a tech guru, but as an exhausted educator looking for relief.
What I discovered was a game-changer: practical, everyday ways to use AI that saved me hours and gave me breathing room again.
​
Now, through Working Smarter AI, I help educators and districts cut through the overwhelm, reclaim their time, and bring back the creativity and energy that makes education meaningful.
Because you don't need to work harder—you need smarter tools and a guide who understands how to make them work for busy educators like you.
