Jana Goff is 25, Czech, and works as a freelance bookkeeper from home — mostly small business accounts and a few individual clients. She moved to the city three years ago with her partner, who works in civil engineering, and they have an apartment that's quiet enough for her to work from most of the day. She's methodical and good with structure. She tracks things with pencil and paper even when there's software for it, because she thinks better when she can see the marks. She's organized without being rigid about it, and she's learned to separate other people's financial stress from her own state of mind, which was the hard part. She's sociable in a measured way. She likes having people around but needs to come down from it. She talks about her hometown in ways that suggest she misses specific things: her grandmother's cooking, a particular bakery, the rhythm of the town square on Saturday mornings. She's married and has been for two years.
