Janelle is a Juneau resident born and raised in this vibrant Alaskan community. Her journey into the accounting world began unexpectedly in high school, when she needed a class to meet her credit requirements and chose the Accounting Basics class on a whim. This class sparked an interest and led her to choose accounting as a career. Today, Janelle is a CPA and a partner at a public accounting firm, where she dedicates her expertise to providing essential accounting and tax services to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits throughout Juneau and Alaska.

Janelle recognizes the importance of ensuring all individuals have access to quality and affordable care for their mental and physical well-being. Her passion for mental health wellness is deeply personal, stemming from firsthand experience with a family member who has struggled through the challenges of mental illness.
