Nickname: Janelley

Length of employment with PREFERRED: 6 months

Job title and responsibilities: Contracts Specialist. Payor Development.

What you like most about your job: Definitely the networking. I love to talk and build partnerships with new contacts.

Favorite pastime: Golf, education, socializing with friends, researching unknown topics, BBQing, lounging on the patio with Ms. Georgia Brown, fishing, floating pool/lakeside. And 4-wheeln (AZ calls it “quading”). I love to drive to small desert towns like Crown King to spend the weekend enjoying a cold beverage & playing horseshoes listening to live music. I LOVE football season. I am still a cheese head so beginning in the fall Sundays become Packer Day. GO FAVRE - no retiring!

About your family: I am originally from WI; I moved to the valley almost 12 yrs ago. It was the beginning of cold rainy damp weather in WI and after a visit to the valley of sunshine, I informed my parents I was moving west. My family consists of my parents, and one older brother who has 3 children. I have never married or explored children of my own, but my 6 year old Bichon, sassy Ms. Georgia Brown is the apple of my eye. My family would like me to live closer but I am unable to handle the cold dreary winters, so I try to visit my roots 1-2x a year. I still have an accent, which almost everyone from the West misconstrues for the movie Fargo.
