Dana was born and raised in Seattle, the daughter of a Contractor and a Financial Advisor. Growing up between helping Dad on construction days and chatting with Mom about the ever-elusive "market," she could assess quality home finishes and explain Bull vs. Bear before she could do her times tables. That early exposure to both craftsmanship and economics sparked a lifelong appreciation for homes. Not just how they’re built, but how they’re lived in, invested in, and cherished.

She started her real estate career in 2022 on the commercial side of the business, working on a high-performing team that closed dozens of multi-million-dollar transactions. This experience sharpened her skills in negotiation, market analysis, and complex real estate processes. However, much of the work was driven by corporate spreadsheets and institutional profits. Her favorite projects were small and local, like helping small business owners find and secure a storefront lease. That is where she discovered a genuine passion for guiding clients and serving as a trusted advisor. Helping neighbors, not corporations, ultimately led her to residential real estate.

Dana earned her degree in Communication Management and Design from Ithaca College and began her career in Marketing. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2018, she has happily found her home in the city’s vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, and now she helps her clients do the same.

Dana is proud to be part of the Sotheby’s International Realty family where she brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every listing and search. Her objective is to make finding or selling a home a seamless and enjoyable process in which clients feel confident at every stage.
