“I think it’s very important for women to feel feminine especially in professions that are historically men’s. It’s a balancing act between being strong enough to do the job and retaining our feminine identity.”
A friend who nominated Ozment said, “Jeanie is a wonderful person inside and out with a heart as big as the outdoors. She’s always giving and never thinking about herself and she always has a smile and kind word even to strangers.”
