Dana served as a Water Master at the Montana Water Court for 6 years before opening her own law practice.

Mike Salvagni. Dana’s experience as Judge Salavagni’s clerk sharpened her ability to analyze the law and gave her an intimate knowledge of the District Court. Dana received her JD along with an M.B.A. from the University of Montana. Prior to law school, Dana fulfilled her life dream of being in the Peace Corps where she served as an HIV/AIDS volunteer in a small village in Malawi, East Africa. Dana, her husband, and their two sons enjoy the great life Montana has to offer especially skiing, hunting, and floating the rivers.
