She is great at telling the story but more importantly she is a phenomenal listener." and "Dana walks into a bar. Except she doesn’t drink. And this is a metaphorical bar anyways. But you already know that. Anyways, the bar is a metaphor for work and life and everything really. There are powerful people in suits upright and full of pride sitting on stools in front, chatting with the owner. Dana slides in next to them and joins the conversation seamlessly. They’re fast friends before an hour is up and they all remember her when she's back in town a year later and reaches out. In a dark booth near the back of the joint, a young woman is sitting alone, sipping a water and picking at an appetizer, hiding out for as long as she can before she must return to where she lays her head. Dana can spot the pain in her eyes, and she engages with her in a way that makes her feel safe and seen even as she cowers in the shadows. — Dana is a natural and authentic leader capable of making just about anyone a friend upon first impression. She is dedicated to doing things right and has a sharp eye for detail."

  Mar 2021 - Present

  I joined the Phoenix team to help grow a community that has the power to change lives. As we scaled nationwide, I began meeting with philanthropic partners and hearing their stories. I listened to stories of families who have been affected by substance use, and I heard their deep commitment to creating positive impact within their communities. Because of their stories, my career trajectory changed. Today I work to connect philanthropic partners with meaningful investment opportunities. Together, I believe we will change the way our country views addiction and recovery.
