This bridge, symbolizing the connection between the physical and spiritual realms, has been part of our landscape since shortly after the Institute was constructed in 1988.

Information Technology Coordinator
Meet Janelle
I support staff by helping them learn how to use our tech tools efficiently and by helping my department keep those tools functioning at their potential.
I love what I do. I enjoy being able to work directly with almost all our staff and knowing that this supports the work we do as a whole. I help people during stressful times and appreciate their dedication and willingness to work with me when things might not be working for them.
I’ve been at the Institute since 2006. I have an administrative assistant associate degree and am working on an IT support technician associates to advance my skills to benefit our daily work.
I am a wife and a parent who loves camping, music, and photos.
Unlike self-criticism, which asks if you’re good enough, self-compassion asks, what’s good for you?
