Jill Janosec - Board Member

Jill embraced the Pacific Northwest 17 years ago, when the native Coloradan relocated to coastal Oregon communities of Seaside and Cannon Beach. Fortunately for Ocean Shores, she again relocated two years ago, to live here. 

 

Jill clearly values an active lifestyle, and she can be seen frequently walking with her beloved rescue dog, Sadie, who obviously enjoys meeting people, too. Now, “active lifestyle” is a vague term; however, in Jill’s instance her assimilation within this community really has been full-throttled. She’s curious, intelligent, and generous with both time and friendship. Even a partial list of Jill’s activities reveals a person solidly and cohesively attached to her present environment: she’s an avid walker and hiker; she’s an enthusiastic member of the Ocean Shores Eagles; and finally, she enjoys challenging herself by intentionally experiencing activities she’d never before attempted–such as playing cards and even razor-clamming–until she settled in Ocean Shores. 

 

On a more personal note, Jill loves cooking, baking, and reading. She’s careful, though, to reserve time for another love and value of hers: rescue animals. Besides her longtime companion Sadie, Jill has repeatedly shared her home with animals in need of foster care, including a variety of dogs and cats of all ages. She confesses, however, that she especially values caring for dogs in their senior years. Jill offers AAOS unique perspectives, such as empathy, friendliness, strong community values, and enthusiastic appreciation of art–and those who create it. 

 

Jill graduated from Lewis and Clark College with a degree in psychology, minoring in biology. She’s employed remotely in bookkeeping, billing, and scheduling.
