Biography

Dana is a dedicated advocate for anti-bullying and anti-girl drama, operating her own website where pre-teens and young adults can share their advice, experiences, and stories, while also providing valuable resources and information to support them.

In 2008, Dana was invited to audition for the animated movie Despicable Me, but unfortunately, she was unable to attend the audition due to a school camping trip. However, after her return, she discovered that the audition was still ongoing and decided to make a last-minute attempt. In December of that year, she successfully voiced the character Edith in Los Angeles.

Dana has stated that she believes her character Edith in Despicable Me is a strong-willed and tough individual with a big heart, who can serve as a positive role model for young girls. Her portrayal of Edith is significant, as it may have a positive impact on young girls and help shape their perspectives.

At the premiere of The Lorax, Dana shared that she had seen the original 1972 adaptation of the story in her biology class.

In 2012, Dana was featured in the documentary "Bullied," a collaborative project between MTV and Firecracker Film, where she sang and played her original song "Take Control" on her guitar. In 2013, she reprised her role as the voice actor of Edith in Despicable Me 2.

Dana has continued to voice Edith in subsequent movies, including Despicable Me 3 in 2017 and is set to reprise the role once again in Despicable Me 4, scheduled for release in 2024.
