                           Janina Arritola’s educational background
                           comes with a BA in Psychology and a professional background based in Research Analysis and in Organizational & Strategic

                           Since the Trisomy 13 diagnosis of
                           her unborn son in February 2005, she has devoted her knowledge, business accumen and
                           experience as well as compassion and passion towards helping other families through similar struggles.  Her research background is used unceasingly to find ways to help our littlest
                           of citizens and her corporate experience has helped her to aid many others to put into professional language the emotional
                           issues that require documentation for clarity in advocacy and goal setting for 'patients plan of care' or educational requirements.
                            
                           She offers enthusiasm and compassion
                           to help children, as well as a higher calling to support families undergoing stressors regarding their child in a special
                           situation.
