BIO
Janet grew up in Maryland but discovered her love for sailing on a lake (and a water logged Sunfish) in the Adirondacks. A week after graduating from college, she moved to Key West, FL “just for 6 months until I figure out what I want to do when I grow up”… that was in 2012. Many years and boats later, Janet still lives in Key West. She has a passion for exploration, teaching, and encouraging others to gain confidence as sailors.

Passion
I’m passionate about people. I feel strongly that everyone is trying to do their best in this world to get ahead. I am also passionate about the environment and doing what we can do make the world a better place for future generations.
Leadership
A leader should remember what it was like before they gained the experience they have- being patient when someone is learning, listening to questions, explaining WHY things are being done certain ways. I think empathy, understanding and encouragement are super important when teaching someone new skills.
