The attraction of animal interaction, utilizing her natural love for animals and the desire to feel a sense of accomplishment in that love drove Dana to apply for a kennel assistant position within PSA&EH in April of 1999. As time passed so did her tour of positions within, gradually she learned the duties and routine as a receptionist, veterinary assistant and administrative assistant. The practical experience of fielding several positions within the facility combined with the direction and guidance supplied by Parkway's practice manager Julie Bankstahl enabled her to step into the Office Manager title.

As office manager she hopes to aide in the expansion of Parkway's quality care, bridge any gaps in communication and continue to nurture her love for animals and their overall well-being!

Outside of the practice Dana spends her time caring for her Australian Shepherd "Charlie", Chihuahua "Mickey", Skinny Pig "Luna" and her trouble making cat "Titten".
