Dana is a military spouse who has spent more than five years navigating the unique rhythms of military life alongside her partner.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and Anthropology from St. Lawrence University and has built her career across museums, public libraries, and recreation.
Through it all, her guiding light has been an interest in supporting community, accessibility, and the ways people find belonging. She brings this perspective to her writing for Military Brands, with a focus on the practical knowledge and shared experience that help service members, families, and veterans feel at home wherever the military takes them.
