Janine was born and raised in Calgary and joined the Alzheimer Calgary team in 2022 as a Knowledge facilitator focusing on diversity and inclusion. Her career to date has centered around building strong community partnerships, collaborative curriculum design, and working towards creating inclusive spaces to learn together. She has a personal connection with dementia and feels gratitude that her time can be spent with a team making Calgary and area more dementia inclusive!

If there isn’t snow on the ground you’ll find Janine, her partner Kelsey and their two high schoolers in the mountains camping every chance they get. In the winter they get cozy with books, volunteering, or hosting community building events within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Anmol graduated as a medical doctor but discovered early on that her true passion lies in community health and making healthcare accessible for everyone. With a focus on person-centered care, she has worked on programs that improve awareness around dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. Her experience spans leading interdisciplinary teams and managing projects that prioritize communication, creating resources catering all learning styles and engaging facilitation methodologies.

As a volunteer with the World Health Organization, Anmol helps tackle medical misinformation, using social media to share reliable health information. In April 2024, she made the leap to Canada, joining Alzheimer Calgary as a Learning and Resource Specialist, where she continues her work in health literacy.

Outside of her professional life, Anmol loves to explore new cultures and is always up for an adventure in nature. Her current goal? To someday summit all 14 of the world's highest mountain peaks!
