Dana does not like to be behind the scenes; she loves to work hard and to be a productive person who makes an impact. So here she is, going from having no experience in the NGO sector to living a very mixed adventure in the NGO sector. Lazord was the set of keys to new opportunities that helped her move forward and open other doors. The first key was being a field officer in Zataari and Azraq Refugees camp. Dana overcame a number of challenges, and even became a protection focal point, allowing people to feel safe while being around her! And then what happened? She starting a new career path by becoming an entrepreneurship trainer and communications officer. She has ridden a roller-coaster to achieve big results and to follow her ambitions. She currently works at an NGO as a Coordinator of International Affairs and Entrepreneurship.

She is a motivational speaker who seeks to help youth find their own way. She believes that the human brain can multitask to find its own passion. Dana is passionate, a hard worker and a dreamer. “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”
