About Me


Myspace Layouts
I'm a lady with many faces living in the city of dreams. And to think I was going to work that 9-5 boring corporate job staring out the window wondering what "could have been?" Fortunately, I jumped over the edge while taking the advice from a great friend, "Go all the way, take the risk. If it's really your passion, just DO IT." Since then, I haven't looked back and am on a wild quest for life working in the arts/entertainment industry. I'm extremely driven, passionate, have an insane amount of energy (no I don't pop any pills!), addicted to work but love to play, and I'm always up for a challenge. I'm still finding out who Janet Lynn Castillo really is but I'm loving every second of the journey. Keep on dreaming BIG everyone!!! Life is what YOU make it:) Remember to always listen to your heart and to count your blessings every single day. Thanks to all my family and friends that have supported me from day one. Now lets continue on with the mission.... ..Dancer. Fighter. Dreamer. Choreographer. Writer. Dreamer. Artista. Friend. Host. Dreamer. Student. Artistic Director. Entrepreneur. Artist. Limitless.
