: '''Temperament''': Doesn't take herself very seriously, prefers to break tensions, will argue her point as good as any. When faced with a challenge, she'll play hard and play to win. Has a dark sense of humour and speaks sarcasm fluently. Resourceful and always trying to think a step ahead. Optimistic, not naïve. Tells outrageous jokes. Feels connected to music. May seem disorganized sometimes, but there's a lot going on in her brain. A strong hearted loyal friend. An undeniable smartass with a kind soul. | : '''Temperament''': Doesn't take herself very seriously, prefers to break tensions, but will argue her point as good as any.

Living in the "other universe", and surviving it, with the help of friends and the [[USS Yarahla|Yarahla Nine]] is definitely up there with those achievements and life wins she has stashed away in her mind. While the year forged friendships and bonds like no other, it was still tough going and brought Jo to the brink of some questionable thoughts. She doesn't have too many disappointments of note, yet, which might possibly be more to do with her optimistic nature than actually skimming the wings of a setback. | ||

After her commission into Starfleet Academy, Jo was found to be a capable Engineer from the start and learned quickly. She chose to Major in Engineering, specifically Warp Theory, and minor in Operations to coincide with her abilities to multi-task, effectively making her a humanoid multi-tool. Taking on board her experience and talent for the work, she was deployed to the [[ma:Fleet Operations Center|Fleet Operations Center]] to carry on her training while working on emerging technology in the field of Operations. Working tirelessly to prove herself in the Academy's arena, she became one of the leading Engineers in her graduate year; a moment she is very proud of. Upon completion of her Cadet Cruise, she requested deployment to Starbase 118 Fleet. | After her commission into Starfleet Academy, Jo was found to be a capable Engineer from the start and learned quickly.
