Jean has worked over a decade as a certified nurse's aid and a number of other jobs. None of them made her happy. After years of lifting patients, and tending to their needs, Jean wanted to give her body a rest from daily stressors of being a CNA. She found herself in the uncomfortable position of searching for other employment.
She was referred to JSI, and began the search of a career.

After exploring different options ranging from funeral homes to the local animal shelter, Jean revealed her real passion: making gift baskets. And so from this idea, Bunny's Baskets and Beyond was born. The "Beyond" in the name is where the real beauty lays. Personalizing them is the key here. Whether it's an anniversary basket that features a CD with the couple's song or a 60s basket decked out in hippy flare, Jean works hard to ensure the product is a reflection of what the buyer is looking for. With the support of her techno-savvy husband and her shopping diva mother, Jean is able to make her customers visions a reality. She has a shy nature, but when she talks about her passion, her eyes light up and she hops out of her shell to tell you about it. The excitement of being able to have control of her destiny and to work at a goal that makes her feel good about herself and life, has helped Jean to step into the limelight. She has received several orders from customers and is in negotiations with some businesses in Monongalia and Marion Counties.
