Jane’s journey into the realm of business commenced at the tender age of eight when she, alongside her parents, spearheaded a bustling downtown San Diego restaurant, laying the foundation for her unparalleled professional trajectory.
Immersed in the vibrant tapestry of commerce from an early age, Jane gleaned invaluable insights from the myriad personalities frequenting her family’s establishment. These formative experiences served as the bedrock for her future endeavors, including the inception of CKYFS Inc.
Her passion for knowledge and language burgeoned during her visits to the San Diego Public Library, providing a sanctuary for intellectual exploration amidst the bustle of the restaurant.
Inspired by a fervent desire to serve her country, Jane embarked on a transformative chapter in the US Navy, where she honed her linguistic prowess and tax expertise at the Fort George G. Meade Joint Installation Tax Assistance Center. Her exemplary service resulted in clients receiving over $2.6 million in refunds, culminating in the prestigious Army Achievement Medal for Meritorious Service in 2006.
