Ask Me Anything - with Janet Antone


Who is someone you admire, and why?


Someone I admire would be my mom, because she has shown me what perseverance looks like. She has never given up on trying to achieve her dreams and build a better life for her and her children.


What would be your personal motto?

Leave things better than when you found them.

What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?


I feel like my ability to connect with people on a personal level is my best skill. I can sit with people and they will open up to me about their life and I feel like that is because I am a very open person.

How do you want people to remember you? I want people to remember me as someone who always tried her best to be honest and kind to others. I want people to think of me as honest but fair.
