Emceeing

I’m no stranger to the stage; unlike a lot of people, it’s the place I feel most comfortable—besides a nice lake, of course.

I have been a SAG-AFTRA union stage/screen actor for over 15 years. I started public speaking in my high school days (winning my state speech team competition and speaking at graduation) and went on to perform onstage at theaters across the country, from Chicago to Key West, Florida.

I’m available as an emcee, host, or moderator. I have emceed for 20Fathoms, the ATHENA Awards, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the National Writers Series, and more!

If you’re looking for someone sassy yet vulnerable who knows the power of storytelling and how to command a room, I’m your gal!

  • "Gift for storytelling"

    “Dana knows how to captivate and move audiences! In the role of emcee, her gift for storytelling brought our retreat attendees into their hearts and their own transformational journeys. She also brought her gifts of curiosity and audience engagement to our planning process and that helped our content become even better and more clear.”

    "THANK YOU for all that you did for this event. You were a hit and brought the right vibes and energy. I knew you’d be great, but honestly, was blown away with how you captured the direction perfectly, were so easy to work with and really made our event a success. So glad we got to work together and hopefully will work together more down the road."
