About Dana
Born and raised in Michigan, and moved to Ohio one after graduating college to work at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Started in Visitor Services and worked my way up into the animal department.

Community Involvement and Interests
Volunteer at Riverside Methodist Hospital. I love playing volleyball (sand or indoor), basketball. Hockey and football are my favorites to watch and attend. I also enjoy reading and photography.

What do you hope members get out of their involvement in the CYP CLUB?
I hope they come away with new work connections, new friends, and to get out and experience what the CYP CLUB and Columbus have to offer.

What's your favorite CYP CLUB event and why?
I've enjoyed all the events I've attended, but my top two would be 'A Date 2 Remember' because it is a great event raising money for local charities, and 'Old School Beer Night'...enough said!!

How would you describe Columbus?
