Get to Know Jan

In her spare time, Jan enjoys spending time with family and friends. She especially loves eating out at the multitude of great restaurants in New York City, and always remembers to order a side veggies!  She de-stresses by meditating, taking walks or biking in the park, reading (or listening to) a good book, or turning up the music and dancing in her living room!
