Bio for 2025
Dr. Dana K. Wangsgard spent her early life in Fair Oaks California and most recently (12 years ago) moved to Berea Kentucky. Dana, credentialed in mechanical engineering, also has a Doctorate in Education. Dana began dabbling in the arts to balance the technical difficulty of the engineering discipline. Over time her obsession with writing and art has only grown. Along with fine arts college courses, her most recent interest includes authoring and illustrating a youth book for her grandchildren.
