Janele Dupuis

Dupuis is passionate about Three Lakes, noting that it is a special place because it brings together people who have traveled the world and those who have stayed close to home their whole lives. Additionally, she loves the fact that it has four seasons and that life moves a little slower here. When she is not taking advantage of the outdoor sports that the four seasons have to offer, Dupuis teaches elementary school in Three Lakes and is a certified yoga instructor. Dupuis moved to Three Lakes in 2013 and married Shane, a local cranberry grower. She and Shane have two college-age children.
