As Founder and Executive Director of the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance, Jeanne has worked closely with the Rockaway community and various City of New York agencies in developing strategies to redevelop large stretches of neglected waterfront in the Rockaways. Much of her work has involved utilizing the waterfront itself through programming and advocacy with youth to protect public waterfront access for the last 12 years. She founded the Rockaway Waterfront alliance in 2006 and was able to develop programs for youth as well as creating nearly 100 new jobs annually in our conservation training and community planning programs for local residents and high school students. Her involvement in the community has been documented by filmmaker Jennifer Callahan in "the bungalows of far Rockaway." Jeanne has a Masters Degree in Design from Yale University.
