"As a mentee of Janell, I would not change anything at all. The type of teaching I would describe Janell possesses would be 'Tender Toughness'. She is caring in a way she holds you accountable. The speciality Janell has when giving guidance is her life experience. Her ability to persevere has taught her life lessons people wished they had.
​
She is the perfect balance of professional and personal. On and individual level she has helped me grow in my public speaking skills. I had a problem believing in my confidence. With Janell's patience and wisdom, she could pinpoint what the problem was and articulte how to fix it in a communicative way."
Myles Yates
"I met Janell at a time in my life that I wasn't exactly sure what my next steps would be. She acted as a mentor to me even though we hadn't had an official 'will you be my mentor' discussion.
​
I still follow and think about the advice and guidance she provided me. She has a way of explaining things and challenging you to think from a different perspective. I'm super thankful I met Janell when I did."
Cassidy Brown
" I'd like Janell's soul to an aged wine or cheese. If such delicacies would soothe my heart aches for mature friendship and intimacy.
​
Lessons self taught with thorns and thistles irreparably pierced her mind illuminating insight and clarity Janell always shares her world. Janell epitomizes didactic."
