Industry Focus

Dana's love of the franchise has led her to some incredible places, including numerous conventions and the creation of an album of Star-Trek-inspired original songs with her father.

Favorite Media

Although she loves all of Star Trek, Dana's favorite series is Star Trek: Voyager, which she can ramble on obsessively about if given the chance. She is always eager for the next thing Star Trek has to offer, and is ionate about the vision of diversity and inclusion that is finally being fully realized in newer installments of the franchise.
