Dana teaches guitar, piano, and flute from her home studio, located in the Stafford area, between West Linn and Tualatin, Oregon.

In addition to her experience as a professional musician, Dana's teaching is supported by an extensive background in education and curriculum development. During her 20-year career in emergency medicine as a paramedic and educator, she ultimately founded and operated a private college with campuses in Portland and Vancouver which prepared more than 500 EMTs and paramedics for licensing at the state and national levels. She is currently finishing her bachelor's degree in music.

With music as a passion since childhood -- she studied classical guitar from age 11, along with piano and flute -- Dana has taught music students for many years. Also an actively performing musician, she has played countless venues across the Pacific Northwest with her duo, trio and full band.
