Dama was born in Mosco, Idaho.  Growing up in a military family, she moved around a lot as a child until her family found roots in Snoqualmie Valley where she graduated from Mt Si High School.  She went on to graduate from Washington State University with a Bachelor’s in Interior Design.

After graduation, she spent 7 years working as a Buyer / Purchasing Agent for an industrial laundry in Santa Barbara, California.  Upon returning back "home" to the Seattle area in 1991, she worked as a Purchasing Manager / Senior Estimator for several construction companies until the housing market declined in 2008.

She transitioned to the aerospace industry and worked as Supply Chain Management Analyst for The Boeing Company at the Everett location until June 2020 when her and her husband made the decision to semi-retire.

In September 2021, she accepted part-time employment as an Agent Assistant for Windermere Real Estate / CIR where she is able to utilize her experience supporting business professionals and her passion for customer service.

As an Agent Assistant, she is committed to building relationships based upon trust.
