Dayna started at UW Tacoma's Office of Admissions in 2008 as an Admissions Advisor and Recruiter. She helped to launch the first Milgard Direct cohort for the Milgard School of Business in 2013 before transitioning to academic advising for the School of Social Work and Criminal Justice in 2015. Dayna advised social work and criminal justice students until returning to campus and Milgard in 2021.
Prior to her career in higher education, Dayna worked in professional theatres, planetariums, airplanes, a custom clothing company, and the headquarters of a very large, Seattle-based coffee company. She honestly loves seeing your vacation and pet photos as travel and animals are two of her favorite things.
