Janine is a whirlwind of talent, adventure, and zest for life! From running her own wedding and event rental business and it's sister company Enchanted Florist & Design Co., to having her own fishing charter, River Otter Sports Fishing, she’s no stranger to balancing business with fun. As a licensed boat captain and WPIC-certified wedding planner and regional representative (with a specialty in destination weddings and what a better place the the sunny Okanagan), Janine knows how to steer any event to success—whether it's on land or sea!

But it doesn’t stop there—Janine’s also a proud gold miner, with 19 gold leases across the province. When she’s not searching for treasure, she’s competing in international fishing tournaments like the Bisbees and Van Wormer’s in Mexico. A world traveler who loves cruise life and deep-sea fishing, Janine’s seen the globe from the deck of a boat.

With a passion for mentorship, she’s been a Woman Mentor in Business in the Forum for Women’s Achievements since 2014, and serves as the President of SOSBIS. Janine’s also a Director for the Penticton Chamber and the SS Sicamous Heritage Museum, as well as the Museum Director for Empower Penticton. She’s worked at BC Hydro, as an air artist, and she thrives on facilitating workshops to teach others.

Janine is all about enjoying the finer things in life—wine, wings, and pizza—with her two birds, Kermit and Tweedy, and her golden retriever, Rosie, by her side. Oh, and don’t forget her nickname, Gold Dust, because she’s always turning life’s moments into golden memories
