Janet is amazing! She is the best and is very very gorgeous and has won so many 1st’s in Bikini competitions. She also won the 2019 Japan Pro Bikini, Asia Grand Prix Pro Bikini and Arnold Classic Australia Bikini, and the 2019 Bikini International! She just wins!

Janet is a great role model for girls and young women. Intensely motivated to be the best that she can be. Very kind and family-oriented. She and her family welcomed my granddaughter and me into their home, couldn’t be more gracious. Proud to know her.
