Janette's Biography:

My name is Janette Armand and I am a 21 year old junior at the University of Washington. I am a double major in theater and sociology: an interesting, yet very complementing pair! Despite my French last name, both my parents were born and raised in Cuba, coming to the United States to better their lives. I was born in Los Angeles, California, as were my two sisters.

 At the University of Washington I am currently finishing my theater major and I want to explore the world of stage directing and playwriting, a passion of mine since middle school. As for my sociology major, I am eager to explore criminology, law, and child deviance. My plans for graduate school include play directing and teaching. With my education experience, I want to fuse together my passions to create an education program in theatre for deviant children.

 I work at the Student Athletic Academic Services (SAAS) at the University of Washington, where I supervise and tutor drama and sociology to student athletes.  My hobbies include cooking, learning instruments, exercising, and spending time with family. Family is very important in my life. They hold for me the greatest gift I cherish, which is believing in me and supporting me in what I love to do.
