She has also worked as a consultant for groups seeking to create new schools and taught curriculum and instruction at the University of South Florida. From 2009-2011, Janine enjoyed her work with the New York City Department of Education, where she developed new programs to help parents get involved in their children's education, and increase high school graduation rates. She is now the superintendent of schools in Perth Amboy, NJ.
