Career history

Jana began her career as an SEO analyst for a digital marketing agency after graduating with a bachelor of commerce majoring in marketing from Macquarie University. During her time at the agency, she got the opportunity to work across a range of industries and learn the fundamentals of good SEO. Finishing up at the agency as a senior client executive, Jana decided to try her hand at a client-side role with more of a content focus and found herself at Intuit as an SEO and content coordinator where she worked with an external agency to capture organic traffic with a stellar SEO and content strategy. Now she is bringing her skills to ClassBento to showcase how creativity is good for the soul.

With her love for helping people find wellness, no matter how that looks for them, Jana is passionate about ClassBento’s mission and strives to connect teachers and students through local, creative experiences.

In Jana's words

I live in Sydney with my partner, close to the beach, so I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s a beach day, exploring nature or going for a walk.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me doing Pilates, reading, cooking, learning something new or trying out a creative hobby. I love romanticising everyday moments and finding little ways to make life feel special.

About me

I’m always keen to try a new craft or creative hobby and love discovering what sticks.
I love learning and writing about health and wellness, and have written content for Sydney Vegan Markets and my local Pilates studio.
I love turning everyday routines into rituals, whether that’s a morning walk, a coffee stop or winding down with a book.

Top weekend activity

My ideal weekend starts with some kind of movement, whether that’s a walk or Pilates class, followed by good food and coffee. I love spending the day swimming at the beach before slowing down in the evening with reading, crafting, gaming or watching a movie with my partner, friends or family.

Favourite craft

I’m currently obsessed with pickling, fermenting and sourdough baking. I love experimenting in the kitchen and learning new skills. I’ve tried lots of different crafts and am always excited to discover the next one to try!

3 top tips to recharge and unwind

Do what feels good for you. Not what looks good or what someone else says you should be doing. Take time to explore what genuinely makes you feel happy and fulfilled.
Create rituals that help you recharge. For me, reading before bed is a non-negotiable; it’s a chance to slow down, clear my mind and prepare for a good night’s sleep.
Get into a routine. Once you find something that helps you feel your best, turn it into a regular habit. Creating little routines gives you something to look forward to and makes it easier to prioritise yourself.

3 top tips for embracing creativity

Let yourself be a beginner. It’s okay to fail, make mistakes and be bad at something before you get better. Remember that everyone has been a beginner at something.
Experiment. Some things don’t work, some things do. Experimenting is how you learn and develop your own style.
Slow down and enjoy the process. Find value in the process instead of the outcome. Give yourself time to switch off and relax, and just enjoy being creative for no purpose.
