LOVE + LA VIDA

Hello! I’m Kate Dana

I am an 8th-generation granddaughter of the civil rights activist, lawyer, and author Richard Henry Dana, for whom Dana Point, California is named. Other than a year in Mexico (2012-2013) and 4 years (2014-2018) in Colombia, I’ve lived in California since 2003.

During the week, I work remotely as a bilingual Communications Specialist. In this role, I develop print and web educational resources in English and Spanish, manage mobile-friendly, online content, and apply my talents as an experienced proofreader reviewing documents.

On weekends, I can be found traveling in California, riding one of my two vintage Italian motor scooters, or searching for places to play skeeball (the arcade ball toss game). I also enjoy planning local and international getaways and supporting small businesses in the greater Sacramento area.
