Dayna Park
Manager, Advancement Communications
As Manager of Advancement Communications, Dayna spends her days sharing stories of the incredible medical research and advances in education at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Medicine. She works closely with donors, patients, community members, faculty, researchers, and educators who are making an impact in the healthcare space—here in Atlantic Canada and beyond.
Dayna is a dedicated communications practitioner with local, national, and international experience in healthcare communications and marketing. After spending several years working in one of Canada’s largest full-service communications consultancies, she made the shift to the non-profit sector.
A sought-after project manager, creative thinker, and strategist, Dayna ensures the success of her projects from the initial planning stages through to execution. She sat on the Board of Directors for the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Maritime Chapter, as their Executive Vice President and supports emerging colleagues as a Connector in the Halifax Partnership's Connector Program.
Dayna is passionate about storytelling—especially when those stories have happily-ever-after endings. She loves that in her role, she gets to see the amazing impacts that medical research and education have on real people, right here in our little corner of the world.
In her free time, Dayna can be found spending time with her family, including her dog, Cooper, and planning dream vacations.
