Jeanette was born and raised in Miami to parents of Colombian descent. She graduated from South Miami High School, where she met Marco Rubio through mutual friends, and attended Miami-Dade College. After dating for 7 years, the two married in 1998.

After marrying Marco, she spent several years focused on raising their four children – Amanda, Daniella, Anthony and Dominick. In 2011, she formed a consulting firm that does work for the Braman Family Charitable Foundation in South Florida.

After learning about the human trafficking crisis in South Florida, Jeanette partnered with several community organizations to help victims of trafficking. Her passion inspired Senator Marco Rubio to make the issue a priority in the Senate. Together, they have helped raise awareness of human trafficking and supported local organizations such as AGAPE that work tirelessly to help victims.
