Dana, a creative soul hailing from San Diego, California. Growing up, she had a natural affinity for the arts, attending an arts academy where she dabbled in music, dancing, drawing, and immersed herself in the cultural scene, from museums to orchestras.

At 23, Dana embarked on a life-altering journey when she followed her heart and moved to Lusaka, Zambia. With the daunting task of finding her identity, career, and a new life, she faced a profound shift. As Dana shares, "When I moved to Zambia, I'd never met a single Zambian outside of my husband. People didn't know anything about me, I had no friends... it was almost like my personal identity was kind of gone and I felt really lost as a person."

Today, Dana has found remarkable success as a renowned photographer, building a thriving brand and a sought-after business. Join us on the Zero to Influence Podcast as we dive into Dana's inspiring journey, discovering how she transformed her life, found her footing, and achieved career success against all odds.
