Hey there!
I’M DANA…
….and I started blogging here in 2010. I studied marketing at University of West Georgia and have an MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from University of Georgia. I work in digital marketing (analytics, social media strategy) and I’m passionate about where this space is headed. I created this place as an outlet to write.
