Bio:
Dana moved to Utah from Marquette, Michigan in 2008 where she earned a B.S. in Psychology and Sociology with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. I have many years of experience in the classroom as a teacher/director in a preschool setting. My husband and I spend most of our time with our two boys (first and fourth grade) adventuring together in the mountains, camping, riding bikes, skiing, and hiking.
I am currently reading:
Running With Sherman

Find balance in all things
Favorite McGillis Lunch:

Favorite McGillis Moment:
When our community came together to keep our kids in school (in-person) the whole school year in 2020-2021!
The defining moment that led you to your career in education:
When I was 13, I handmade a deck of cards, and then made up a game to entertain a 4 and 6-year-old just for fun. I knew I was destined to be in the classroom!
