Born, raised, and residing in the Laurel Highlands, Jeanine has always been naturally drawn to nature, art, and music, but thrives under pressure, thinks logistically, and revels in writing an informative letter. As a girl, she dreamed of being an archaeologist or putting soundtracks to movies. Ultimately, she pursued and received a B.S. in Broadcast News Journalism from West Virginia University. Since then, Jeanine has crafted a career in personal finance. She is a Financial Advisor with Fayette Legacy Partners of Janney Montgomery Scott’s Uniontown, PA office, and obtained her Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor® (CRPC®) designation through the College for Financial Planning. She enjoys blending her unique viewpoints and varied skillset to help others craft a legacy benefiting their families and beloved causes/institutions.
Led by her conviction that creative expression is vital to the human experience, Jeanine now proudly serves on the board at Touchstone Center for Crafts. She is grateful that such a prolific craft school is thriving so close to home, and willfully encourages others of all levels to immerse themselves in Touchstone’s unique and expansive offerings. Jeanine is a paper crafter and does mixed-media collage – blending her own photos, found objects, old or discarded books, and historical or macabre illustrations. Most of her pieces are kept close – art for art’s sake – but has, on occasion, been featured on albums, posters, and social media content for Pittsburgh-based bands/musicians. She is a voracious consumer of music, both live and recorded, and enjoys nighttime around a fire with her friends, family and pets.
