Janet has joined the PFC faculty for the 2021-22 school year. Janet recently relocated to the Greensboro area after living in the NY/NJ area her whole life. Previously she worked at Brooklyn Friends School in the roles of science teacher, Director of Sustainability, and Science Department Chair. She has also taught science at Birch Wathen School.
Janet is excited to reconnect with a Quaker School, and is looking forward to being part of a community where her expertise, sense of humor, and creative problem-solving can make a difference. Janet looks to spark students to carry out their own projects, find data, and use critical thinking to bring science and technology to life, and to improve their own future. Janet also works part-time at the Greensboro Science Center.
In her free time Janet enjoys opera singing, swimming, theater, and gardening. She lives with her spouse Linda and their cat.
