Meet Our Newest Team Member!

Dana is new to Pennsylvania and has found the area and people to be a community

with rich history, strong roots, open hearts and welcoming spirits.

Dana has been in the social work field for over 30 years and has worked in a variety of

modalities and human services helping children, families, elderly and individuals with

disabilities in settings including individual residences, group homes, hospitals, nursing

care facilities and palliative care/hospice agencies. She has also worked in both the for-

profit and non-profit worlds.

After hearing a presentation about North Star's Mission and long-term involvement in the

surrounding community, Dana was drawn to get involved and see if she could contribute

her time and training to Northstar. As a single parent herself, she has a firsthand

understanding of the unique challenges that can be roadblocks to the often-daily

struggle of maintaining a safe, healthy, and stable life for many single mothers and their

children in an ever-changing world; which has led her to a connection and passion for

serving and advocating for clients served by North Star.  

In her time at North Star thus far, Dana is grateful for the opportunity to learn and work

alongside such an incredible, well-seasoned and compassionate team of people and

looks forward to contributing to the continued success of this organization.
