While speaking on the topic of “Yoga and the Athlete” at an Aldine ISD event in 2016, Janet realized she had grown into her abilities to speak publicly.

Janet is also active in her community serving as Mayor Pro-Tem for two terms and City Council woman for four terms until 2020. Some of her hobbies include cooking, gardening, sewing, decorating and reading.
But the MOST rewarding part of her life is being a MOTHER, GIGI to her grandson, and SISTER to her siblings.
