Dana Kirstine Wangsgard

Dr. Dana K. Wangsgard spent her early life in Fair Oaks California and most recently (10 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, Adi Mae’s Superpower, based loosely upon her bi-racial granddaughter (check it out at www.bocoteart.com) and taking part through essay and poetry in a collaborative anthology with Coming of Age writers (available next month).  Currently, Dana is employed as a subcontractor under the Department of Defense destroying aging chemical weapons and trying to make the world a little safer.
