Office: Lt. Governor

Jocolyn was born in Philadelphia and attended public schools in North Philadelphia and Media. She took classes at Yale University and CCP before graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Temple University. After graduation, she spent about 24 years working as a laboratory technician at a medical research facility & bio-repository. She has first-hand experience with being laid off after decades of employment and having difficulty securing full-time employment. Jocolyn currently works part-time as a pharmacy technician, volunteers, gardens and teaches English as a second language to adult students. She also serves as the Chair of the Green Party of Delaware County PA and as an at-large delegate to the state Steering Committee. She and her husband became the parents of her late brother’s youngest son and eventually homeschooled him so he could get a better education than he was receiving in Chester’s public schools. He now has his Ph.D. in biology and is doing AIDS research.
