J. Dana Trent

Dana was born in L.A. but has called North Carolina home for over three decades. She bleeds Duke blue and goes to the Barre at 6:00 a.m. most mornings (not that kind of bar). A professor of world religions, when Dana's not teaching group fitness classes or keeping college students awake, she's taste-testing desserts. Dana and her husband live with their orange tabby cat, Truffle Hunter.
