Lenore Myka, Former Editorial Director, Opportunity Education

I hired Dana to assist my editorial team with high school science and mathematics curricula. Dana’s expertise as an editor and her vast content-specific knowledge were a tremendous value to our team, and we immediately saw improvements in the materials we posted to our platform. She was versatile in a variety of style guides and approaches, and went above and beyond the work I assigned her, providing recommendations for streamlining our in-house general and STEM-specific style guides as well as offering suggestions for resources to improve our sensitivity and diversity approaches, for which she has had special training and education. She attended our monthly staff meetings, where her laidback but direct communication style was always welcome. Her intelligence, sensitivity, humor, and responsiveness made working with her a delight, and her facility with technology and openness to learning new approaches made her an ideal hire.

I've worked as a scientist, educator, and editor and writer in my jumbled professional life--and have loved every minute of it. I continue to discover the surprising ways two or more of these fields converge in my work and always seek out new opportunities. I'm a natural learner, teacher, thinker, organizer, wordsmith, storyteller, thought partner, and copy polisher. If you're looking for someone who's sharp, dependable, and empathetic, contact me. I'd love to talk with you about your project.
