Dana is absolutely stellar at relationship building and communications while driving the bottom line. She is liked by everybody with her spunky approach to work and is able to connect instantly with anybody. Dana is reliable, thorough and closes deals with some of the most challenging clients on earth: celebrities. I recommend Dana to the fullest extent.
