Early in her career, Jansen trained in
Pointe-Claire, Quebec, and at the Hamilton-Stoney Creek Skating Club in
Hamilton, Ontario. Encouraged by a coach,
Neil Carpenter, she decided to represent the Netherlands and moved to that country to train under
Joan Haanappel. Jansen won the first of her three consecutive
Dutch national titles in the 1977–78 season. A competitor at five
ISU Championships, she finished 17th at the
1978 Europeans in

1979 Europeans in
Zagreb, Yugoslavia; 23rd at the
1979 Worlds in
Vienna, Austria; and 18th at the
1980 Europeans in
