As a student advocate at the Federal Legislation Clinic, Dana supported a privacy and technology think tank by surveying the landscape of enacted and proposed laws related to face recognition technology, critiquing face recognition technology bills, and preparing staff for related lobbying in several states. She also supported a mid-Atlantic immigrant rights organization by preparing other students for legislative hearings on immigrant surveillance by preparing their testimony, drafting possible questions and answers, and organizing moot hearings.
At a leading audit, tax, and advisory services firm, Dana served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology (OI&T). She facilitated development of the publicly released VA Comprehensive IT Plan, which resulted in the Government Accountability Office declaring the agency no longer at high risk of failure for IT project planning. She also drafted the IT Modernization Plan, which was used to meet a client's requirements under an executive order.
