Dana received her Bachelor of Science in Business degree from Miami University in 2006, and her law degree from John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois in 2010. While attending law school, Dana was honored on the Dean's List and received a Dean's Scholarship award. She was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Legal Honors Fraternity and worked as a Teaching Assistant. Outside of school, Dana gained valuable experience working for the law firm of Navigato & Salvato in downtown Chicago supporting attorneys on various civil matters. However, it has been Dana's ongoing experience with her family's nursing home business that has developed her interest in elder law and estate planning.
Dana resides in Gates Mills, Ohio and likes to travel, cook, spend time with her family, and support the Cleveland Browns. She created a popular food blog where she writes about her personal cooking experiences and her local and international restaurant experiences.
