Janette Luu
Janette N. Luu (born March 18, 1976) is a Vietnamese-American broadcaster. Until October 2009, she hosted CANOE Live, a local TV program on Sun TV in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as Toronto's first-ever Vietnamese TV news anchor.
Personal life
Luu was born in Big Spring, Texas. Luu's parents came to the United States in 1975, with her birth coming just a year afterward. During her childhood, Luu attended Haley Elementary and Blackhawk Middle School. Luu later attended Snider High School, where she won first place for a speech written for 'Project XL', an Indiana competition sponsored by Farm Bureau and the Indiana High School Athletic Association. Having co-anchored the school's weekly television show known as Panther's Pause, Luu also graduated as valedictorian from Snider High School, having been labeled as "Most Likely to be the First Woman President" in the school yearbook.
Luu's parents had many expectations for her that involved a degree in medicine. She had wanted to be a doctor since she was young, which was why she first enrolled in and graduated from the University of Michigan, pursuing a pre-med double major and earning Bachelor of Science degrees in both biology and Latin. She graduated in 1998, but decided afterward that she "didn't want a medical career".
