My Endorsement:

I’m proud to endorse Janine because her vision for a more inclusive HES is something that I deeply respect. Her experience living and working in 30 countries gives her a unique perspective on diversity, and her dedication to listening to underrepresented voices—especially neurodiverse and international students—shows how much she truly cares about creating a space where everyone belongs.

Janine’s expertise in Industrial Organizational Psychology, combined with her leadership roles at Citibank and Deloitte, proves she has the skills to turn this vision into action. I believe her servant leadership will help make HES a place where every student feels valued, supported, and heard.
