Community Involvement

Jane has been an active volunteer at the East School, Saxe Middle School and the New Canaan High School.

Personal Background

After extensive experience in client services in the fields of television, advertising, marketing and sports sponsorship in London, England, Jane moved from the UK to New Canaan in 2000. Her two children attended East Elementary School, Saxe Middle School and New Canaan High School.
