Jacquelynn is thrilled to have a job that allows her to spend the day thinking about the French culture and language, which she loves.  

 

Jacquelynn spent 18 months in the Paris suburb of Jouy-en-Josas and another 18 months in the Bourbonnais in rural Auvergne. She had the good fortune to travel a lot during this period and loves the Rhône Valley. 

 

Her time in France led her to study French literature and history in college. She then spent five years as a pastry chef, recreating things she’d eaten in France. 

 

Jacquelynn lives in Minneapolis with her husband and two sons (14 & 19), two cats and a dog. She loves to read, cook, sew, knit, garden and watch the clouds go by at her rural one-room schoolhouse cabin.
