Dana started with VCA as Veterinary Technician in 2005. In 2011,  she became a Hospital Manager at a sister hospital. Dana started at VCA Ark in late 2022 just helping out. She has enjoyed the team so much that she wanted to stay. She has a strong passion for veterinary medicine, but really enjoys her leadership role.   

When Dana is not working, she enjoys hiking, camping, and kayaking with her dog, Kaida. She also loves  spending time with her 2 cats, Haddy and Freyja, and 2 guinea pigs, Sunny and Nat. Dana's favorite season is winter because she absolutely loves snow.
