Dana Linett-Silber is a freelance writer living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. She’s covered just about every topic — from physics, fashion and parenting, to environmental policy and finance — for an array of clients including Fortune 50 companies, consulting firms, ad agencies, non-profits, and magazines. Dana’s biggest accomplishment is being a (very imperfect) mother to her three kids. She's also proud of her bountiful Shabbat dinners most every Friday night. Dana really likes her 5 o'clock glass of wine. Sometimes it's at 4:45. OK, 4:30.
