Some of her most cherished experiences include serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for foster children, online evangelism, and working with the homeless. Each opportunity has allowed her to be a part of something larger than herself while making a difference in the lives of those she works with. Janet has been involved with prison ministry since 2017 serving as a Bible study mentor, pen pal, prayer partner, and assisting with in-person ministries at women's correctional facilities.Janet and her husband have been married for twenty-six years and are proud parents of three adult children.
