Janet is an Independent Pampered Chef Consultant and a dedicated member of the Wexford Chapter, has been an active part of WBN for over 15 years. She originally joined with the goal of expanding her business and connecting with other like-minded women—and along the way, she found a network that’s become a powerful source of support, inspiration, and opportunity.
One of Janet’s favorite benefits of WBN is attending events where she can meet women from other chapters. She’s built a wide network of professional women she knows she can reach out to whenever needed. In fact, WBN made a life-changing impact on her family: shortly after she joined, her daughter was looking for a new job. Janet connected her with a fellow WBN member in banking, and from that one referral, her daughter landed a position she’s happily held since 2011. Janet encourages members to embrace the power of referrals—you never know where one conversation might lead!
Janet’s business “why” has evolved over the years. When she began her Pampered Chef journey in 2001, she was seeking flexibility—freedom to prioritize her family and travel. That need for flexibility became even more important as her grandson came into her life. From t-ball and marching band to high school graduation and Army boot camp, Janet’s business allowed her to be present for every moment. Today, her grandson is deployed in Germany, and her “why” continues to evolve with each chapter of life.
Pampered Chef gives her the freedom to work from anywhere and travel with the Daughters of the Nile organization, which she holds close to her heart. She’s also embraced technology, shifting her business from in-home to virtual parties—something that blossomed during the pandemic and now stands as a signature strength of the company.
Janet’s passion is helping families get dinner on the table quickly and easily using the best tools available, and mentoring others who want to build a flexible, family-first career with Pampered Chef. Her advice to other WBN members is simple: find a mentor, ask questions, and soak up the knowledge around you. Take advantage of every opportunity WBN offers—from networking to practicing your presentations—and never stop learning from your fellow chapter members.
