Alana is a Senior Associate of Benefit Communications at Fidelity Investments. She is originally from Albany, NY and moved to Keene in 2018. Her favorite thing about KYPN is all of the new people she gets to meet! KYPN has the ability to make a big impact through the events that we host and she finds that extremely rewarding. 

Gregg crunches numbers by day as an Accounting Manager for the Fenton Family Dealerships, but his true superpower is making Keene feel like home. Since moving here in 2018, he’s jumped headfirst into the community—so much so that after one bite at the Taste of Keene event in 2021, he joined the KYPN Board and never looked back.

​

Public service isn’t just something he does—it’s who he is. Whether serving on the Board of Directors for the Colonial Theatre and the Montessori Schoolhouse of Cheshire County or giving his time as a proud member of the Keene Lions Club, Gregg is always looking for ways to give back and make a difference.

A lifelong theater enthusiast, he’s passionate about the arts and believes in their power to bring people together. When he’s not at work or in a board meeting, you’ll likely find him at the Colonial Theatre (either in the audience or helping behind the scenes), strolling through Keene, or completely absorbed in a great book—probably one with a plot twist he didn’t see coming.

Danya is a Partner and Co-Founder of Machina Kitchen and ArtBar.  She has lived in Keene for over 9 years.  Danya joined KYPN because she believes in creating the type of place you want to live in.  Attracting and retaining young professionals and helping to build a platform which creates a thriving city is very important to her.  KYPN gives her the opportunity to meet and work with others who share in this belief.  Danya learned how to stilt walk when she was 12 years old.  Since then, she has stilt walked in many parades and walked the runway in two high-fashion shows in Philadelphia and Atlantic City.  

Max moved to Keene in 2005 and has been rooted in the Monadnock Region ever since. After being invited to a KYPN board meeting by a close friend, he immediately connected with the group’s energy, mission, and jumped in to contribute.
