Jana supported herself through college by working in the Restaurant Industry, eventually becoming a General Manager, where she honed her business skills while learning the important dynamics needed to lead a team to success.  She then studied Politics and Film-making at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, earning a B.A. in Political Science with a Minor in Women's Studies. She has also completed over 100 hours in the University's Pacific New Media program, studying Film and Television Directing, Producing, Editing, Writing, Lighting, Sound, Art Design, and more.
