She moved to Saskatoon four years ago after earning her PhD in Education from the University of Calgary. Previously, Janet worked as a teacher and educational administrator in her native country of Kenya, often with refugee children or children living in poverty. Her academic research delves into the implications of parental involvement in the education of their children, with a particular focus on immigrant and refugee families. Janet is active and engaged in mentoring and welcoming newcomers to the Saskatoon community from Kenya and other parts of the world.
