TESTIMONIALS/RECOMMENDATIONS

In all the nearly 15 years that I have known Janetta I can not think of a time where I haven’t seen her put every ounce of her will and determination into what she has set out to do and accomplish! Many do this same thing but none with the class and humility that she does.

— Andrew Swibes

As the former Activity Director of TF North, I saw first hand how dedicated you were to the students in the band program. You worked tirelessly to make sure things stayed organized for that large group and to implement high standards of performance. Students grew to meet your expectations because they trusted you and because you worked hard to build relationships with them. One of your many talents was your problem solving- both with band performance needs, and with individual student's personal needs. If you had a concern or saw a need, you proactively handled it. You were, and continue to be, a positive role model for young musicians.

— Laura Cook

I think the first thing people discover when they meet Janetta is how authentic she is. That term gets used a lot but I think it found its origin with this woman. One will rarely find someone dedicated to moving their entire world around them in a better, positive direction than this person. I've never heard her shirk from responsibility or say "that's not my job". She's not afraid to roll her sleeves up. No matter the venture, you are in beyond capable hands with this amazing human being.

— Ronald Fox

Janetta has been and will continue to be a positive, influential force to anyone who works with her. She is an asset to any company she works for with her adaptability, discipline, and professionalism. She brings to the table what most say they will through her actions, not just words.

— Alyssa Ferraro

Janetta is an example of what I’ve hoped for in life for the members of every generation following mine. As I’ve known you, you’ve been a vibrant, ambitious, disciplined woman who has set and realized goals.

— Theodore Boone

Janetta is very professional, kind, hard working & easy to work with. She has been a pleasure to work with and would be an asset to any company she works with.

— Deanna Brown

You are genuine. You are brave. You are thoughtful and caring and lead by example. You are hungry and are not afraid to chase your dreams.
