Jana is one of very few excellent program managers I have met. I got an opportunity to work with her on a global immersion program for our MBA program (I was an executive MBA student who went on this trip). She was responsible for planning and coordinating our immersion trip and really did an awesome job prior and in-country. Her attitude and professionalism was one of the best I have seen. She was sincere, clear in her communication and always on top of her game. I will definitely work with her in future and certainly recommend her for excellent work ethics, quality of work, honesty and humbleness.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jana during my trip to South Africa as part of UCONN’s EMBA program. Jana did an amazing job of creating business and cultural experiences that truly provided us with greater insight and an in-depth understanding of the opportunities and challenges of living and working in South Africa. Her knowledge of the country, including its history and vision for the future, provided greater context and contributed to an even more immersive experience. Additionally, Jana’s leadership, organizational, management, and communications skills are unparalleled. She is a consummate professional and also a pure delight to work with! I highly, and unequivocally, recommend Jana.
