In summary, Janet is a world-class researcher who can analyze data and express complex findings with thoroughness and clarity. With the highest degree of anticipatory self guidance, Janet tackles the most complex of research topics and issues. And she can move across a broad spectrum of topics and integrative issues with ease.

Janet is an excellent writer and demonstrated it on a regular basis when we worked together at Dow Jones Radio. She had a knack for condensing often complicated materials, such as IRS rules and the financial dealings of various companies, into easy-to-grasp and useful information for consumers and investors. She also worked very quickly and often finished assignments ahead of schedule. I would welcome the chance to work with Janet again.
Jan is one of the most professional and savvy business writers with whom we work on behalf of our mutual fund and money management clients. She "gets it". She does her homework, asks intelligent questions and writes well. A pleasure to work with on any of her assignments - whether our suggestion or not.
