After completing her studies at the gymnasium in Nové Strašecí with a focus on humanities, Dana began studying history at the Faculty of Education of Palacký University in Olomouc. She then lived in the USA, where she worked in librarianship and studied at Queens College. Upon returning to Prague, she worked at the Embassy of the United States as a grant specialist for non-profit organizations. Her extensive experience in the international setting has helped her understand the philosophy of schools like Duhovka, which emphasizes motivating children through quality education.
Dana is the mother of two children, and in her free time, she enjoys reading, attending concerts, and going to the theater. She is interested in history, loves traveling, and exploring new cities and countries, where she visits local landmarks and tastes local specialties. Her motto is: "Everything is better with a smile."
