Dana graduated from UWC Adriatic in Italy in 2005. Her favorite memory from college is attending student parties on a farm in neighboring Slovenia. After graduation, Dana went on to receive a Master of Arts degree in Public Policy from King's College London.

She is the owner and ex-CEO of Osnova Publishing, and currently serves as the CEO of the United For Ukraine foundation.

"For twelve years I managed my own publishing business in Ukraine. After the war started, I decided to change my field and work with big social challenges in my home country since I have always been passionate about changing the world for the better. I was lucky to get connected with the United For Ukraine foundation, which was founded by Nina Levchuk and Olha Khamama, who have been living in Europe for a while. Our most important project is a platform that assists Ukrainian refugees. Since February, it's been helping people find temporary housing, legal and informational aid, and access mental health providers. This is a colossal achievement, but we have no plans to slow down. We are already working to join the development of the vision for Ukraine's reconstruction.
