Before joining the Water Court, Dana served as law clerk for 18th Judicial District Judge, the Hon. 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.
