Janet grew up in Wisconsin, spending much of her time on either a horse or dairy farm. For college, she moved out west to Durango, Colorado. It was Colorado that taught her the importance of the environment and its resources. The differing attitudes and practices towards water and the environment made her realize how important natural resources are and how much they are taken for granted. Since that time, she has moved back to Wisconsin for law school and intends to specialize in environmental law. Janet spent much of her life riding horses, but now spends most of her free time biking, kayaking, and enjoying the beautiful countryside.

Before beginning my first year at the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle I worked in Hawai'i as a field research assistant studying birds and in Glacier Bay National Park monitoring glaciers. My goal as a student of law is to fundamentally reframe climate change as a human rights issue while expanding the framework of environmental law to include social issues. As an undergraduate at Middlebury College in Vermont, I studied environmental studies and literature. Prior jobs include "Portland Fridge" columnist for Edible Portland, Communications Associate at Ecotrust, and Editorial Assistant at Orion magazine. I enjoy running, backcountry skiing, and biking everyday to school (with all of my books!). Please stay tuned for an international conference at the University of Washington on Climate Change, Human Rights, and Global Health planned for Spring 2009.
