About Lana Surface

With a passion for promoting mutual understanding across diverse populations, I have strengths in communications, public relations, and relationship building. I have applied these strengths to managing programs, building partnerships, and developing strategic messaging and marketing in support of cross-cultural engagement, women and youth empowerment, and community building. My cross-industry experience includes higher education, non-profit organizations, and the federal government. In addition, I have a strong technology background including web design, digital and print marketing, graphic design, social media marketing, database management, and systems administration.
