Speaker

Upon graduating from Monmouth College with her Bachelor of Science in Education, with endorsements in Early Childhood and Special Education, JanetLynn had one heartfelt wish: to give back to the community that shaped her, carrying forward its proud traditions of unity, pride, and steadfast support of students and families — socially, emotionally, and academically. The years that followed brought countless lessons, challenges, and successes as she not only served general, bilingual, and special education populations alongside dedicated faculty and families, but also continued to advance her own education. She earned two Master of Science degrees for Special Education and School Administration, and her Certificate in Behavior Analysis from Monmouth University, and ultimately completed her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Northcentral University. Her career reflects a lifetime of dedication and growth. She has served as student, paraprofessional, teacher, principal, Coordinator of Special Education, District Administrator for Personnel, Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services, and currently Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Through every step of this journey, JanetLynn has remained steadfast in her commitment to nurture, guide, and advocate for equity for all students, families, staff, and the community.
