Janna grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland, and has always loved the vibrant energy of the area. She earned her B.S. in Human Capital Management and Leadership, with a co-major in Entrepreneurship, from Miami University (OH). During her time there, she was actively involved as a campus tour guide, president of the Asian American Association, and a frequent visitor to the local farmers market with friends. 

After returning to the DMV, Janna began her career as a staffing recruiter. However, she soon discovered her true passion lay in project management and process improvement. Inspired by her experience juggling logistics in the staffing world and leading student organizations in college, she transitioned into the project management space. She earned her CAPM and PSM I certifications before joining Cloudforce. 

Outside of work, Janna loves expressing her creativity through art, cooking, and learning new songs on the ukulele. She also enjoys pilates, spending time with friends, and attending cultural festivals. When she’s not engaged in these activities, she’s likely playing with her two energetic Shetland Sheepdogs and teaching them new tricks, albeit with mixed results. Janna is looking forward to her move to Northern Virginia and is excited to explore all the area has to offer! 

Other fun facts about Janna:

If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be?

• I would definitely master singing! I used to do singing lessons when I was younger, but it dwindled as I got to college. It requires so much training, and it’s easy to injure your voice. I’m hoping to get back into it soon!

What’s a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?

• When I was younger, I was terrified of learning to ride a bike, so I learned when I was 14! Better late than never in that case!

What season would you be and why?

• Fall! I love it when the leaves change color, you can wear sweatshirts without sweating through them, and all the cinnamon and warm teas come out. Plus, hayrides and farmers’ markets are great during the season.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

• If I’m trying to sing well, then “Sports” by Beach Bunny or “City of Stars” from La La Land. If it’s going all out and for fun, then “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance!

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever given?

• The best piece of advice I’ve given was to not “should” yourself. Personal accountability is one of the most important things, and the act of “should”-ing can make it hard to engage in that. Rather than asking if you should do something, have that question be “how” or “what” can I do, and then go from there.
