Jean has worked at the Cornell Waste Management Institute in solid waste education for over 20 years, first working for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Broome County, then for the Cornell Waste Management Institute. Jean initially worked to develop youth programs and then as the need increased, concentrated her efforts more on composting.

For the last ten years, she has been working on composting feedstock from food to manure to animal carcasses. Currently her time is split between manure and carcass & butcher waste composting education and research. Compost quality and consistency in the market place has also become a high priority, we encourage on-farm use but often farms are required to move nutrients off the farm. Transforming manure into compost is an effective, efficient way to accomplish that.

Previous experience includes working with different agencies including US Forest and National Park Service, US EPA, NYS DEC and the landscape and greenhouse industry.

She received an M.S. degree in Education and Communication from SUNY Binghamton in 1991, a B.S. in Biology from Utah State University in 1984 and an A.A.S. in Natural Resources from SUNY Morrisville.
