Dana Kobilinsky joined The Wildlife Society staff as an editorial intern in January 2015. As she learned more about wildlife and science and gained more writing and editing experience, she climbed up the ladder at TWS to associate science writer, science writer, associate editor and eventually managing editor. As managing editor, Dana writes and edits articles for wildlife.org and The Wildlife Society’s membership benefit magazine The Wildlife Professional. She holds a bachelor’s degree in mass communications/journalism from Towson University in Baltimore.
Prior to joining TWS, Dana interned at Defenders of Wildlife in Washington, D.C., where she developed her passion for wildlife conservation. When she isn’t writing, Dana enjoys preparing Jewish students for their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, exploring new breweries, doing yoga and spending time with her dog—a Rottweiler named Mac. Dana lives in Maryland with her husband Andrew and two daughters, Corinne and Lena.
