At an early age Jana displayed an uncanny ablity too "feel" her way through a dig site, by 16 Jana was the youngest ever admitted to Oxford University where she would specialize in archaeology and anthropolgy. After graduating Jana joined Starfleet Science Corps. While Jana excelled in her studies she found herself unchallenged and signed up for entry level command training. Jana's previous education combined with the much needed challenge put her at the top of her class.

The newly minted lieutenant got her first assignment serving at the Mars Colony, finding the duties tedious and menial she still preformed her duties well and this attracted the attention of the chief science officer of the USS Chandler. Jana's arrival on the Chandler proved to be her first real challenge since Starfleet Academy. She balanced her work on the ship and lab with working out on dig sites. It was during what was supposed to be a routine survey mission that Jana's true nature would make her career in starfleet.

USS Chandler was on a survey of a mutara type nebula when a still unexplained static discharge from the nebula caused an explosion crippling the ship. Jana who was on the bridge at the moment of the explosion was forced to make her first command decisions. Realizing that the possiblity that the captain was unable to be on the bridge during this crisis Jana took command and quickly took heroic measures to save her shipmates. Her actions lead to a promotion to Lieutenant JG.

Ultimately her time on the Chandler was cut short due to the war with the Cardassian/Dominion. Jana was one of the few survivors of the final brutal assault on Cardassia prime. The battle still scars her sleepless nights and makes her life difficult.
