While at Roosevelt High School in Fresno, CA; she was the lead alto and played in the jazz, Latin and marching bands. She also kept her love for piano alive by accepting and invitation in her junior year of high school to play in the Fresno City College Latin Band, where she would play until graduating high school.

After high school, Jeanette attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance. She has been rockin' the stage ever since!
