Janie grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, and attended Colorado State University, where she earned degrees in Psychology and Biology. After graduating, she worked in the food service industry while considering her next steps. During this time, she had the opportunity to work alongside her mother, who has been in the mortgage industry for over 40 years. This experience provided Janie with valuable insight into the real estate world.
She later accepted a position at an up-and-coming mortgage company based in Kirkland, Washington, where she held various roles in sales, training, and compliance. It was during this time that she discovered her passion for compliance and training—fields she found to be a natural fit. Over the next 10 years, she worked diligently to advance her career in these areas.
Outside of work, Janie enjoys traveling, SCUBA diving, reading, and spending time with her significant other and their pets.
