Reana earned her Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy from DePaul University, Chicago and her Masters Degree in Policy Analysis and Management from The New School, New York City. She has a background in communications, development, and policy and has worked to advance progressive policies in three major US cities (Chicago, NYC, and DC).
