Jana
Department: Small Business Center
Jana is the Senior Library Assistant for the Small Business Center. She began her career in public policy (mostly economic development and workforce development) then became a small business owner. She thinks the best part of her job is the creativity to create programs, the opportunity to hear what people are doing (for work and for fun), making connections, and learning new things. She’d like to keep Durham Durham-y and support its residents as they chase (and achieve!) their goals.
Pronouns: she/her
