She played competitive volleyball most of her life and she has suffered multiple knee and ankle injuries throughout middle and high school. Jana is still competing in intramural volleyball at CSUF on top of being a full time student.

In her free time, she loves to travel, go sight seeing, hang out with family and friends, and work out.
