Dena Blaustein grew up in Richmond, VA and moved to Baltimore, MD at the beginning of high school. After graduating from Ithaca College, she ended up moving back home and spent a lot of time volunteering, thus sparking her interest in working with Jewish nonprofits.

Dena is a Jewish day-school graduate, with various experiences as a Jewish Communal Professional at Federations (Baltimore and Washington, DC) and synagogues (North Shore of Chicago), as well as other non-profits and foundations (Florida). Dena's passion for organization and event planning, coupled with an interest in fundraising and a soft spot for the health sector, have given her so many rewarding professional opportunities over the years.

Dena relocated back to the DMV area earlier this summer for her husband's new role at NIH, and they are so glad their 2 year old son can grow up closer to family (Baltimore, Olney, DC). She is so excited to be a part of the Har Shalom team and is up for this new challenge of being your Marketing & Communications Coordinator!
