Dana (she/her/hers) started as the Associate Director of Operations, Finance and Analytics for Children’s Programs in 2024. Dana is a Native New Yorker, from Harlem where she was born, raised, and still calls home. Dana is driven by a profound passion for knowledge, the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the complexities of the human psyche, and the transformative power of community service, especially in underserved communities. These passions are intricately woven into her personal, academic, and professional life and have shaped her interests, actions, skills, achievements, and aspirations. She thrives on fostering positive change and equity wherever she goes and has lent her expertise to healthcare, tech startups, non-profit and social action organizations, K-12, and higher education. When she’s not immersed in data, policies, and procedures, and championing causes close to her heart, Dana is an avid WanderLuster, her adventurous spirit takes flight as she explores destinations across the United States and around the world.
