This year, I am the Dir. Alumni Partnerships for National AJET. It will be a big challenge, but I hope to continue the connections between current and alumni JET’s and help to organize and promote events for JET’s in Japan. I look forward to meeting and working with you all!

Janice was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She is now a 2nd-year ALT in Kyoto City and the Project Manager for National AJET.
She loves cats, capybaras, Jurassic Park, and like any islander, the beach. The moment the rainy season ends and the cicadas start showing up, she can be found taking a nap out in the sun in Shirahama, Wakayama.
The rest of the year she’ll either be exploring Kansai or buried in a good video game.
