After Five:

On a more personal level, Janta is very involved in her church, including as a youth director. She strives to show care to others and walk out her Christian faith in all areas of her life. She is also a proud Canadian who is accustomed to taking a ribbing for her nationality. Since Janta was a child, she has dreamt of jumping horses, but for now some of her happiest moments are spent training and learning dog agility with her poodle, Coffee. She also can be found exploring the local parks and trails on foot and on her bike with her husband. If you’re very lucky, you may spot her being followed in Fort Steilacoom Park by her two black cats.
