Dana is relatively new to living on MDI but had been visiting every opportunity for the last 3 dozen years before putting down permanent roots in Southwest Harbor. Her past work experiences were centered around library work and business enterprises, however she is passionate about being part of a supportive community and assisting those on MDI as Island Connection's Volunteer and Program Coordinator. When she is not working she loves the great outdoors, mushroom hunting, music, science, and cooking.
