Bio
Colleen Burin
I have worked with many professionals throughout my career, and Janet is one that I enjoy collaborating with the most. In our initial projects together, she was an associate (and has since been rightly promoted!)—but she showed up as polished as any senior consultant. We engaged on the work with me in the role of content strategist and Janet as content producer. Her writing skills and work ethic are impressive. She has a bias towards action if she encounters ambiguity in her work that makes her invaluable to work with. She is proactive, reliable, thorough, flexible, a great communicator, and a joy to interact with. So great was my excitement to work with her again that I encouraged her to come to my team. The sky is the limit for you, Janet, and I’m so grateful to work alongside you.

"If you're looking to be inspired, look no further. The stories in this book of Latinas who overcame adversity will surely motivate you to reevaluate your abilities and pursue your dreams." - Aimée Eubanks Davis, Founder & CEO Braven "If you're the kind of person who won't stand for vapid platitudes and needs her pep talks delivered with facts, stats, receipts and a side of ya tu sabes then The Latina Trailblazer is for you. As a Latina living in a country that pathologizes and maligns us at every turn, this is the newest tool in the toolbox we all need to stay sane and keep up the fight." - Nathalie Molina Niño, Investor and Author of Leapfrog, The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs "The Latina Trailblazer is an uplifting and relatable read that will have you laughing and crying tears at the same time. Janet puts the spotlight on the voices of Latina entrepreneurs, a group that has long been ignored. This is a book that every aspiring founder needs and I’m so glad it’s finally here." - Pamela Martinez, Co-founder and CTO of Snowball Wealth "The Latina Trailblazer is an engaging and inspirational book and a lesson for us all of how these young women used their grit, resilience and courage to persevere, no matter how daunting the circumstances. Janet shares real stories of women who have turned adversity into a strength, the promising rising generation of America." - Sylvia Acevedo, Corporate Board Member, CEO, Author, Tech Exec Show less
