About Me |
|
| life has taken janette luu in many different directions, but it's her move up north from the u.s. that has her most inspired. before becoming host of canoe live, sun tv's current affairs show, janette began her career in news at the abc affiliate in fort wayne, indiana. she spent six years as a reporter and weekend anchor after graduating from the university of michigan with a b.s. in biology and latin.
offscreen, janette has been a public radio host, a theatre performer, an independent film producer, and a creator of multimedia art events. she also launched a city-wide initiative that highlighted fort wayne's innovation, technology, arts and downtown revitalization. she can be heard on the audio book for "the rise of the creative class: and how it's transforming work, leisure, community, and everyday life" by richard florida. because of her extensive work in the community, janette was honored as an inaugural member of the future 40, northeast indiana's forty most dynamic people under the age of 40. she was also featured on the cover of the premiere issue of "fort wayne woman." most recently, janette won the $25,000 grand prize in visa's ideas happen contest, in which she submitted her idea for an immersive experience called project inspire. |
