Janine Amador
Legal Assistant
I'm Janine, a proud alumna of Northwood Christian University, graduating in 2016 with a BA in Business. While my roots trace back to the vibrant streets of San Francisco, life's journey led me to the picturesque city of Eugene 16 years ago, where I've since planted my roots and blossomed.
Traveling has always held a special place in my heart. I thrive on exploring new cultures and expanding my horizons.
In the heart of my home, you'll often find me immersed in the art of cooking. Whether it's crafting mouthwatering dishes inspired by my multicultural background or experimenting with new flavors and techniques, the kitchen is my sanctuary where creativity knows no bounds.
Beyond my personal pursuits, I'm deeply passionate about making a positive impact in my community, particularly within the Latino community. Having navigated challenging legal processes myself, I understand the importance of providing support and guidance to those facing similar obstacles. Whether it's connecting individuals with resources, or guiding them step by step, I'm committed to empowering and uplifting my community.
