Dana holds a degree in Interior Design from Texas State University. Following her graduation, she took a break from the design field and accepted a position with VCA Leon Springs while she and her husband planned their wedding. Although her deviation from the design field was intended to be brief, she fell in love with her co-workers and has been with the VCA Leon Springs team since 2012! At home, she and her husband are the proud pet-parents of Naga (a Turkish Akbash) and Bungie (a Turquoise Conure). Recently, they also became human-parents as they welcomed the birth of a baby girl! In her spare time, Dana enjoys gardening, reading cooking and creating art. Her favorite movie is Elizabeth Taylor's 1963 'Cleopatra', and her favorite books are J.R.R Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. "I love collecting different vintage printings of Tolkien's works!" says Dana. "My favorite spot in my home is my reading corner, where I have a cozy chair and book case devoted entirely to my Tolkien collection. I have honestly lost track of how many times I've read them…but I'd say I average reading through the trilogy at least twice a year. It's like returning to a favorite vacation spot or restaurant for me!"
