Jane’s Bio:

After a few years as a middle school teacher, I changed directions. I went back to school here at UW for pre-med and then med school, trained in pediatrics at Seattle Children’s and then spent thirty years in clinical practice at the Everett Clinic. I worked half time my whole career so I could be very involved with raising my two daughters. I actively pursued work-life balance, and I loved it all.
