Janet spent most of her childhood growing up in Naperville, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, before moving to the Sooner State to attend college.
While studying journalism at the University of Oklahoma, Janet also played on the Big 8 Championship soccer team.
After a short stint as a ski instructor in the mountains of Colorado, she went back to school, graduating with a Master's degree from NorthwesternUniversity's Medill School of Journalism.
Her first job took her to the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where she was a Reporter/Anchor for WJFW-TV, the NBC affiliate in Rhinelander, Wisc., covering her fair share of ice fishing tournaments, snowmobile races and plenty of Packer fanatics. Her experience also includes working for MSNBC during the 1996 Democratic Presidential Convention, working in Colorado Governor Roy Romer's Press Office, and serving as a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent for a television station in Fargo, N.D.
She moved to Lawrence in 1998, where for the past ten years she's been behind the desk, anchoring either the 6pm or 10pm news. Her real passion is to be out in the field reporting and doing stories that impact people's lives. Janet has won numerous awards for her reporting.
