Janina was born and raised in Hooper Utah. She grew up with 3 brothers and 1 sister. They had a lot of land around them so she said she doesn't remember playing with toys much. They just explored and played outside. Growing up she played in ditches and with sticks, rocks, bugs, and animals.
She graduated from Roy High and then attended Weber State where she met her husband Sean. She was taking a racquetball class and Sean, who was also attending Weber State, was killing some time playing racquetball as well. They graduated from Weber State on the same day, Janina with her Health Administration and Health Promotions degree and Sean with a degree in Technical Sales.
They dated for 4 years before they got married in 2001. She said she never wanted to get married or have kids. When she had her first baby she said it was life altering. She changed and it was like she became a different person. She says she has been blessed with such amazing and great kids that she feels like that is her purpose on Earth is to be their mom, which she is amazing at!!
Janina has 4 children. Jackson who is 10, loves baseball, soccer, star wars, and is awesome at math. Jacob is 8 and loves baseball, soccer, and skiing. Brynlee is 5 and is definitely the princess of the house! She is all girl and loves clothes, make-up, shoes, and dancing! Ty just turned 3 and loves cars, airplanes, and playing with his brothers.
Janina loves to read and travel. She worked for Delta in college. Later Sean worked for Skywest so before they had children they used to travel a lot. They have been all over the country. They would hop on a plane and spend the day somewhere, sometimes even sleeping in airports and then come home.
She was able to travel to Europe for her Senior trip and lived with a host family for 2 1/2 weeks. In college she also took a class where she learned about Costa Rica and then went and lived there for a month. While there, she and a classmate lived with a family and went to school. She lived close to one of the most active volcano's in the world. She said it was constantly erupting but usually was covered by clouds. She said it always sounded like thunder. Once the clouds cleared so she got to see it erupt while she was there. She also got to spend a night in the rain forest in a research hut, where they collected all sorts of huge rainforest bugs to study. She has also traveled to the Bahamas and Hawaii.
They have lived in Bountiful, Layton, and now Kaysville. Janina said her hobbies were raising kids. As a family they love to watch their children play sports, hike, and go on bike rides.
She works part time for Molina Health Care, where she is in charge of developing and implementing health plans. She works 1 day in the office and the rest from home. She really loves her boss and the flexibility of the job,
We are so lucky to have Janina in our neighborhood!!
