As president, she is responsible for managing business operations, business development and providing client and project management.
Favorite memory of Clemson – Despite having a fantastic collegiate experience, I think Clemson has really brought me the most joy post graduation. I have always felt a part of something just by having graduated from Clemson. The greatest privilege has been the opportunity to share that with others, especially my children. They have been to a football game every year since they were born and have been brought up Clemson Tigers and to see it all again through their eyes has been remarkable. And they aren’t even students! (yet…I hope!)
What keeps me busy during the day – Dana is he president of Clark | Azar & Associates, a civil engineering firm with offices in the DC and Baltimore areas. When not working, Dana can probably be found on a field watching my kids play ALL the sports.
