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.

About the Name

I decided to call my blog TheGreatDanaJ.com because I believe that this blog documents my quest to become the best version of myself. I wanted a blog name that incorporates me and gave a description of who I’m on a quest to become. As Michael Jordan says,

“I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.”

This blog features the ride along that journey. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me.
