Dana attends the University of Pennsylvania, and will be finishing her B.A. in Biology with a minor in French. She has always felt very passionately about the environment, but truly found her love for conservation when she got involved in research on ocean acidification and coral bleaching. She plans to get scuba certified this summer, and hopes to soon travel to Hawaii with the rest of her team to see the impact of her work up close. Once she graduates, she hopes to enter a Ph.D. program to further pursue her love for environmental science and to combat the effects of climate change.
