Dana sang, danced, and acted her way to a BFA in Musical Theatre from CCM, and has worked at many New York and regional theaters including The Lortel, The MUNY, and PaperMill Playhouse, and voiced commercials from Pier One to Facebook.

For years, she buzzed around New York City as an actor and voice-over artist adding podcast producer, choreographer, and director to the mix. The Pandemic moved her to rural Connecticut where she continues to be a creator and artist as well as a mother of two. This is her second year teaching at IMS.
