Donna Dvorak

Manager Client Experience Training at MSD Czech Republic

 

I am originally from the Chicago area and moved permanently to the Czech Republic many years ago when I fell in love with this country. After a long stint living in Karlovy Vary, I settled in Prague. I have been at MSD CZ for 6 years and lead a team that helps colleagues understand and adopt technology tools in the company. I became involved in the Czech Chapter of our Rainbow Alliance EBRG at MSD CZ when it was founded in 2018, and have now been Chapter Lead for over two years. This has been a great opportunity to work with my co-lead on expanding the group and realizing our goal of making everyone in our company feel welcomed and included, no matter who they are. I have a passion for learning, and am constantly reading (and watching) anything that brings new ideas, information or perspectives
