I serve as the board president of the Len Foote Hike Inn where Dana served as our Education Manager. Dana was a team player who had good presentation skills and the ability to assemble programs that were interesting for our guests. She pitched in to handle all aspects of the Hike Inn ranging from education to guest relations to helping out in the kitchen. The Hike Inn requires its employees to live in the deep woods of North Georgia, and Dana adapted well to the environment. She is a self starter who shows excellent initiative. She is a very pleasant and compassionate person who gets along well with coworkers.
