Jean Finlay (she/her) an SDE facilitator, advocate, and mother of two, is a firm believer in the power of trust. She's been working to empower and embolden youth and expand the SDE landscape in Philadelphia (and beyond) since 2018. As a co-founder of Philly ALC, she knows what it takes to build and maintain a robust community and thriving intentional culture, even during a pandemic! A background in creative writing allows her to use her imagination in ways that are beneficial to being flexible in any situation. Jean is thrilled to be engaging in the Flying Squad formation in Philadelphia to watch how youth engage and explore in one of the coolest cities in the world.
