Dana is a dedicated healthcare professional with a robust educational background, holding a Bachelor's degree in biology and nursing from Seattle Pacific University, a Master's in nursing education from the University of Washington, and a Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Maryville University, where she graduated magna cum laude.

A proud military veteran, Dana served seven years on active duty as a bio-environmentalist, gaining invaluable insights into workplace hazards. Following her military service, she spent 23 years as a nurse in various hospital settings, including critical care and oncology.

After experiencing the menopause transition and recognizing the lack of support available, Dana became a nurse practitioner and then completed advanced hormone replacement therapy training through My Monarch Clinician Mentorship. Dana cracked the code to restore her health and now passionately empowers and advocates for women to navigate their menopause journey successfully.

When not helping her patients feel their best, she enjoys the outdoors, reading, volunteering in the community, and spending time with her husband, daughter and four rescue dogs.
