I recently started working for another IWU alum, Janel Patterson who graduated in 1992 with a degree in International Business. After a unsettling encounter with an online predator experienced by her oldest daughter, Janel took matters into her own hand. Janel has worked diligently over the past five years to build Frienedy into the first private group networking application that is family-friendly and suitable for users of all ages. Janel has worked hard at making sure Frienedy is COPPA (Children’s online privacy protection act) compliant which sets Frienedy apart from various other social media sites. Frienedy is gaining great traction in St. Louis, where Janel currently resides, and throughout the country. Janel reached out to Business Professor Fred Hoyt and that is how the two of us became connected and began working together. In the first few weeks, Janel has already served as such a fabulous role model and exemplified true characteristics of a Titan.
