About BANA

Luciana Rosu Sieza, BA. Honors

I am a mother, a wife, a leader, an educator and a motivator with a GREAT passion for life. I was born in Romania and lived in Montreal, QC for some of my childhood years. I have spent the majority of my life in Windsor- a community that is diverse and has so much to offer. I graduated from the University of Windsor in Psychology with a minor in French.

I started at BANA over 11 years ago as the Health Promotion Manager (prevention), which is an area that I am extremely passionate about. In 2012, I was appointed as the Interim Executive Director at BANA. It is a privilege to be in this position and to work with the amazing board, staff, funders and community partners who are all so dedicated to this important work. I sit on a number of committees, which allows me to engage and learn more about our community.

I am married to Tony and have 2 children Gabriela and Antonio who are my world. I love to travel and see the world from my own lens. I enjoy going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I value the community I live in and try to make a difference whenever and whenever I can.

Patrick Kelly, Adp. Advertising-Business

Originally from Chatham I have lived in Windsor since 1996. As a graduate of St. Clair College with an Advanced Diploma in Advertising/Business I’ve spent the past two decades working with a variety of organizations including the MediaDuo Advertising Agency, Dimanti Stone Works, the John McGivney Children’s Centre, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Lakeview Montessori School, the Children’s Achievement Centre and KPMG.
Since 2007 I have been the Special Projects Coordinator for the Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association where my responsibilities include public relations, media, fundraising, administration and IT services. In addition to my role at BANA, for 201116, I served as an instructor in St. Clair College’s Advertising program.
As a representative of BANA, I actively participate in several community committees; as Co-Chair of the Service Alliance for Equality (SAFE), as Marketing Chair for Windsor Essex Communities in motion, and as a committee member for Children’s Fest.
In my personal life along with my wife Lorretta and 2 kids, Zander and Carly I volunteer time with the Emerald Isle Dance Society and The Windsor Feis Association.

Dana Dupuis, MSW, RSW

I am a native of Tecumseh, Ontario and a graduate of the University of Windsor with an Undergraduate and Master’s degree in Social Work. I first came to BANA in 2010 as a student intern and have experience working at both Legal Assistance of Windsor and the Windsor/Essex AIDS committee before returning to BANA in 2012 to fill a maternity leave. In 2014, I accepted a full-time position at BANA as the Clinical Intake Specialist.
I have a French bulldog named Ruthie and enjoy creative endeavours like art classes.

Sara Dalrymple, BA, MSW, RSW

I was born and bred in the rose city. I graduated from the University of Windsor with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Honours Psychology. However, my passion for working with people didn’t stop here. I completed my Master of Social Work Degree at Wayne State University, and had the incredible opportunity to work within non-for-profit organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, Mental Health Connections, and Windsor Essex Community Health Centre.
I arrived at BANA recently – in 2018 – to cover a maternity leave for a “clinical therapist” position. I am blessed to be working with BANA until 2020!

I have a goddaughter, Aryanna, who is the inspiration to my life. I occupy my free time traveling the world, backpacker style. I also volunteer with the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society, and love playing recreational soccer and volleyball. My ultimate passion, however, is working towards the wellness of my community, particularly through mental health initiatives.
