Janet joined SAC in 2015. She loves working with older adults and promoting positive community and growth in north Denver. In her hometown of Memphis, she worked in real estate and still loves everything about neighborhoods and living spaces. She became interested in the nonprofit world while reading about the work of Paul Farmer and was captivated by the idea of creating our best lives for ourselves as we age. When she moved to Sunnyside and discovered Senior Assistance Center, all these interests came together.
