My name is Janie and Iḿ getting my M.Ed. at P.O. I have a love for my family, friends, dog, and sports! Go Dodgers!

I love people, as well as sharing my story. I was born with a form of dwarfism called, Hypochondroplasia. Basically, I have an average height gene, as well as a little person gene. Iḿ the only one in my family to have this, so definitely unique! I stopped growing in about 8th grade.

I recently started a new job, as a 1st Grade T.A. at a local Elementary school in Sierra Madre, CA.

Before getting into teaching/education, I was in Development & Fundraising for the past 7 years. I worked behind the scenes as a gift processor at various nonprofits and schools in the San Gabriel Valley.

I look forward to continuing my education in school, as well as my education career!

Music has always had a special place in my heart, especially Country. This song came out last year right when COVID-19 started, and it really means a lot to me. The pandemic has been a struggle, as I constantly rely on the presence of people. However, I managed to get used to Zoom, FaceTime, etc. I am finally happy to be able to see friends and family again in a safe environment!
