She comes to us from WFMY in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she was one of the first web anchors in the market. There, Dana was able to connect with the community by integrating the internet into daily newscasts. One of her most memorable accounts is sitting down with Maya Angelou in her very own backyard, for an in-depth interview on her new Twitter account.

Before that, Dana was the morning anchor and health reporter for WTVO in Rockford, IL. She anchored through many breaking events, including the arrest of then-Governor Rod Blagojevich, and the NIU shooting massacre.

Dana got her start at WJHG in Panama City, FL she reported through four hurricanes, including the mass influx of New Orleanians to Panama City after Hurricane Katrina. She also broke the news story of a landlord who planted hidden cameras in his tenants' apartments. Because of her story, the landlord was arrested and charged on several counts of video voyeurism.

Dana is a Make-A-Wish volunteer, and a University of Florida graduate (Go Gators!) She is excited to be in West Virginia, where she and her husband now call home. They have a pug named "Botox" who is spoiled beyond belief. If you have a story idea or would just like to say hello, she'd love to hear from you! Email her at the address above.
