As someone who finds joy in nurturing both people and animals, optimism has always been a cornerstone of my life. My name is Jeanie, and I’m an entrepreneur driven by a profound love for animals and children. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, moved to Denver at the age of four, and finally settled in Houston in 2001. Along this journey, I’ve embraced the rewarding challenges of being a wife, a mother of four, and a grandmother to three—with hopes for more grandchildren in the future.

For me, life’s greatest rewards lie in connection and care. Whether it’s through raising a family or dedicating myself to the work of animal advocacy, I’ve carved out a piece of my heart for the things that bring life meaning. This perspective closely aligns with poptimism, a concept rooted in celebrating joy and finding value in what makes us happy.
