Jana has worked in higher education since 2009 at her alma mater, Arkansas Tech University. Her experience includes supporting faculty and academic programs as the Director of Academic Services within Academic Affairs, as well as recruiting and enrolling concurrent high school, undergraduate, and transfer students as the Associate Director for Enrollment. She joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in July 2023 as the Communications Manager and looks forward to sharing the stories and successes of the faculty and students in the department.

Jana moved to Fort Collins from Russellville, Arkansas in 2022 with her husband and son, and they absolutely love their new hometown. She enjoys spending time in the Cache la Poudre canyon and trying out new (to her) restaurants in Fort Collins.
